Calling a constructor to re-initialize object

Question

is it possible to re-initialize an object of a class using its constructor?

Answer 1

May-be not what you have in mind, but since you didn't mention what it is for, I suppose one answer would be that you'd do it by controlling scope and program flow.

For example, you wouldn't write a game like this:

initialize player
code for level 1
...
reinitialize player
code for level 2
...
etc

Instead you'd strive for:

void play_level(level_number, level_data) {
    Player player; //gets "re-initialized" at the beginning of each level using constructor
    //code for level
}

void game() {
    level_number = 1;
    while (some_condition) {
        play_level(level_number, level_data);
        ++level_number;
    }
 }

(Very rough outline to convey the idea, not meant to be remotely compilable.)
