C++11 calling constructor from constructor of same class type
c++, c++11, constructor, visual-c++, visual-studio-2010
Solution
It's not supported in VS2010. Most C++11 features are not supported in VS2010 (or VS11 for that matter)
Here is a chart of supported features in VC10 and VC11.
Problem
I was told the following was possible due to changes in C++11: ``` class SomeType { int number; public: SomeType(int new_number) : number(new_number) {} SomeType() : SomeType(42) {} }; ``` But when I try to build I get an error: ``` "SomeType" is not a nonstatic data member or base class of class "SomeType" error C2614: 'SomeType' : illegal member initialization: 'SomeType' is not a base or member ``` Is this feature not yet supported in Visual Studio 2010? Do I need to configure something to get this to build? What is wrong?
