C++: how to choose the constructor depending on the condition?

Question

Assume I have a class with different constructors:

class A
{
public:
    A(char* string)
    {
        //...
    }

    A(int value)
    {
        //..
    }

           


        

Answer 1

I had the exact same question a while ago and this is what google helped me find:

unique_ptr foo;

if(isTrue())
    foo = std::unique_ptr(new A("10"));
else
    foo = std::unique_ptr(new A(10));

Its probably too late for the OP but someone else might hopefully find this useful.
