Hi, when I create a class and it''s constructor fails, how to handle it, that this class gets NULL?

throw an exception. . thats how to do it... you cant return a value because constructors must not have a return .

or you could set a value indicating the object failed to initialiase..



{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }

This is precisely why so many wrappers over C libraries have an "initialize()" type of call, as opposed to just doing it in the constructor. They want to return a value if something failed to initialize properly.

Exceptions are cleaner, and safer.. but if your adverse to using them (such as programming in a low memory/slow processor environment) the construction through a member method is probably the most commonly used.

I can give you many many reasons as to why this is bad, but just know that it is used (in MFC for example).
