Why is it not allowed to delegate the initialisation to another
constructor

class X
{
public:
    X (int i) : i_(i) {}

    X () : X(34) {}             // Not allowed
>>>>>>>>>


     Why not use      X (int i = 34 ) : i_(i) {}

[ I think he was concerned with the more general case of a complicated
  initialization (not assignment) that must be repeated for each
  constructor. -sdc, moderator
