![]() ![]() Member initializer lists work both with fundamental types and members that are classes themselves. This is the only way to initialize members that require values upon initialization, such as const or reference members, and it can be more performant than assigning values in the body of the constructor. ![]() Member initializer lists allow us to initialize our members rather than assign values to them. This isn’t strictly required so long as the prior recommendation has been followed, but your compiler may give you a warning if you don’t do so and you have all warnings turned on. Initialize variables in the initializer list in the same order in which they are declared in your class.Don’t initialize member variables in such a way that they are dependent upon other member variables being initialized first (in other words, ensure your member variables will properly initialize even if the initialization ordering is different). ![]() are explicit versions of the default C++ constructors. Instead, they are initialized in the order in which they are declared in the class.įor best results, the following recommendations should be observed: A C++ class consists of 2 files: a header file (.h) and a source file (.cpp). Perhaps surprisingly, variables in the initializer list are not initialized in the order that they are specified in the initializer list. Something(int value1, double value2, char value3='c', float value4=34.6f) // this line already has a lot of stuff on it If all of the initializers don’t fit on a single line (or the initializers are non-trivial), then you can space them out, one per line: This is similar to the flow of the following code in non-object-oriented C++: int m_value1 // so we can put everything indented on next line Then the body of the constructor is run, where the member data variables are assigned values. When the class’s constructor is executed, m_value1, m_value2, and m_value3 are created. Fields in Generic Classes This section demonstrates the use of instance and static fields in generic classes. These are all assignments, not initializations Constructors and destructors are executed once for each object instance (as usual) static constructors are executed once for each constructed type. In the previous lesson, for simplicity, we initialized our class member data in the constructor using the assignment operator. ![]()
