[comp.lang.c++] constructor help request

pjc@PacBell.COM (Paul Condie) (01/04/90)

Is it possible for a constructor to call another constructor of the same class?

What I would like to do is something like this:
class test
{
	int	x;
   public:
	test ();
	test (int);
	test (int, int);
	...
};
test::test()
{
	x = 5;		// or whatever
}
test::test (int a)
{
	// do the code in the first constructor here - call 1st constructor ?
	// do some additional stuff in this constructor
}
test::test (int a, int b)
{
	// do the code in the second/first constructor here - call 2nd constructor ?
	// do some additional stuff in this constructor
}
