The Constructor Initializer in c++

class   A  

  {  

  public:  

  A():a({1,2})  

    {  

    };  

  private:  

  const   int   a[2];  

  };  

  編譯過不了！請幫忙解釋一下,謝謝

解釋：

1.類裡面的任何成員變量在定義時是不能初始化的。  

  2.一般的資料成員可以在構造函數中初始化。  

  3.const資料成員必須在構造函數的初始化清單中初始化。  

  4.static   要在類的定義外面初始化。  

  5.數組成員是不能在初始化清單裡初始化的。  

        cannot   specify   explicit   initializer   for   arrays  

        不能給數組指定明顯的初始化。  

  enum{i=10,a=100};   可以達到要求，而且，const資料成員隻在對象的内部是常量，而對于整個類來說就是可變的了！ 

referrence:    The Constructor Initializer

The constructor initializer starts with a colon, which is followed by a comma-separated list of data members each of which is followed by an initializer inside parentheses.

The constructor initializer is specified only on the constructor definition, not its declaration.

Data members of class type are always initialized in the initialization phase, regardless of whether the member is initialized explicitly in the constructor initializer list. Initialization happens before the computation phase begins.

Constructor Initializers Are Sometimes Required

Some members must be initialized in the constructor initializer. For such members, assigning to them in the constructor body doesn't work. Members of a class type that do not have a default constructor and members that are const or reference types must be initialized in the constructor initializer regardless of type.

Advice: Use Constructor Initializers In many classes, the distinction between initialization and assignment is strictly a matter of low-level efficiency: A data member is initialized and assigned when it could have been initialized directly. More important than the efficiency issue is the fact that some data members must be initialized. We must use an initializer for any const or reference member or for any member of a class type that does not have a default constructor. By routinely using constructor initializers, we can avoid being surprised by compile-time errors when we have a class with a member that requires a constructor initializer.

Order of Member Initialization

The order of initialization often doesn't matter. However, if one member is initialized in terms of another, then the order in which members are initialized is crucially important.

It is a good idea to write constructor initializers in the same order as the members are declared. Moreover, when possible, avoid using members to initialize other

Initializers May Be Any Expression

An initializer may be an arbitrarily complex expression.
