C++ Constructor initialization list strangeness

Question

I have always been a good boy when writing my classes, prefixing all member variables with m_:

class Test {
    int m_int1;
    int m_int2;
public:
    Test(int          


        

Answer 1

I imagine this works because you were using int1 in the initialiser list, and the only things you can initialise are member variables => it was in fact unambiguous which variable was being initialised.

Whether all C++ compilers would be this forgiving is another matter!
