Re: How can i force my derivers to call a base function

Hi lets say I have the next situation
class base
{
pubic: ;)
  base() {}
  virtual ~base(){}
  virtual init()
    {//do init }
};

now i want that every deriver will call MY init function before he
init his class...
for some reasons I cannot put those calls in the cTor...

one thing that I thought of is
class base
{
 public:
    init()
      {
          //do base's init
          secondPhaseInit();
      }
protected:
      virtual secondPahseInit() = 0;
}

and then the deriver can only override secondPhaseInit and he needs to
go through my init .
But it's still not an idiot proof method... is there a way?
