I heard that the advantage of using initialization lists in the constructor will be that there will be no additional instances of objects of the class type. But what does this mean for the following code in the constructor of class T? If I comment on the purpose and use initialization lists, what's the difference?
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::ostream;
class X {
public:
X(float f_x = 0, float f_y = 0):x(f_x), y(f_y) {}
~X() {}
X(const X& obj):x(obj.x), y(obj.y) {}
friend ostream& operator << (ostream &os, X &obj);
private:
float x;
float y;
};
ostream& operator << (ostream &os, X &obj)
{ os << "x = " << obj.x << " y = " << obj.y; return os;}
class T {
public:
T(X &obj) : x(obj) { }
~T() { }
friend ostream& operator << (ostream &os, T &obj);
private:
X x;
};
ostream& operator << (ostream &os, T &obj)
{ os << obj.x; return os; }
int main()
{
X temp_x(4.6f, 6.5f);
T t(temp_x);
cout << t << endl;
}
