Static initialization of a struct with class members
- by JS Bangs
I have a struct that's defined with a large number of vanilla char* pointers, but also an object member. When I try to statically initialize such a struct, I get a compiler error.
typedef struct
{
const char* pszA;
// ... snip ...
const char* pszZ;
SomeObject obj;
} example_struct;
// I only want to assign the first few members, the rest should be default
example_struct ex = { "a", "b" };
SomeObject has a public default constructor with no arguments, so I didn't think this would be a problem. But when I try to compile this (using VS), I get the following error:
error C2248: 'SomeObject::SomeObject' : cannot access private member declared in class 'SomeObject'
Any idea why?
