Suppose I have a class with private memebers ptr
, name
, pname
, rname
, crname
and age
. What happens if I don’t initialize them myself? Here is an example:
class Example {
private:
int *ptr;
string name;
string *pname;
string &rname;
const string &crname;
int age;
public:
Example() {}
};
And then I do:
int main() {
Example ex;
}
How are the members initialized in ex? What happens with pointers? Do string
and int
get 0-intialized with default constructors string()
and int()
? What about the reference member? Also what about const references?
I’d like to learn it so I can write better (bug free) programs. Any feedback would help!
