What it says on the tin. Is there a way to create interfaces

What do you want to do in your constructor? I can't think of
anything that wouldn't change some state, either of the class
(but interfaces aren't allowed to have fields either, precisely
because they may not have state), or the global state
(worse...). Just curious.
Additionally, is there a way to force the linker to link a
function in a class without an implementation with another
that does have an implementation?
I'm not sure if you mean the same as generating "interface
files"?

Basically, I want to define a common interface for a group of
platform-specific classes, except that they should ideally also
share constructor parameters. What I want to do is then alias
them to a common name, selecting the implementation for the
target platform at compile time.
