I understand, but I'm questionning myself on the very example above, with
the constructors I wrote. "A(){}" must remain public so to allow the user to
declare a variable "without" initializing it.
Please consider that this is just a curiosity question: "I'd like the
compiler to complain if the user is using the variable without initializing
it after its declaration, like for any other basic types". This is not
critical for me. If it were, I'd initialize the varible using
"A(){my_value=0;}".
Anyway, thank you for your answer.
