Calling another constructor when constructing an object with const members

Question

I have a class with const members, and one constructor which calls another constructor with extra values filled in. Normally I could use a colon initializer for

You can add a parameters class and use either C++11 constructor delegation or a base class:

struct parameters {
    int b; int c; int d;
    parameters(int b): b(b), c(), d() {
        myfunc(b, &c, &d);
    }
};

// constructor delegation
class A {
public:
    A(int b): A(parameters(b)) { }
    A(parameters p): b(p.b), c(p.c), d(p.d) { }
};

// base/wrapper
class ABase {
    ABase(parameters p): b(p.b), c(p.c), d(p.d) { }
};

class A: public ABase {
public:
    A(int b): ABase(parameters(b)) { }
};
