placement new to defer to a different constructor

Question

Is this safe? I\'m not using any virtual functions in my actual implementation, but I\'m tempted to believe that even if I was, it would still be safe.

Answer 1

It looks like the best solution to this problem is to just create a different function to do the initialization:

class Foo
{
    inline void nullify()
    {
        // initialize things
    }

    Foo()
    {
        nullify();
    }

    Foo( int )
    {
        nullify();
    }
}
