Why can I not call my class's constructor from an instance of that class in C++?

Question

When can an object of a class call the destructor of that class, as if it\'s a regular function? Why can\'t it call the constructor of the same class, as one of its regular

Answer 1

The constructor is there "c()" used with new, i.e.

c objC = new c();

If you want to call your constructor outside of the actual construction of the class instance then you either haven't understood the purpose of the constructor or are trying to put functionality in there that shouldn't be there.
