copied!<p>I ended up creating the following class:</p> <pre><code>#include <type_traits> // Or <boost/type_traits.hpp> template <typename Ty> class manually_constructed { public: template <typename T> manually_constructed(T construct_func) { construct_func(static_cast<Ty*>(static_cast<void*>(&data))); } ~manually_constructed() { static_cast<Ty*>(static_cast<void*>(&data))->~Ty(); } Ty& operator*() { return *static_cast<Ty*>(static_cast<void*>(&data)); } Ty* operator->() { return static_cast<Ty*>(static_cast<void*>(&data)); } private: // Replace 'std' with 'boost' if your standard library doesn't support // type_traits, yet. std::aligned_storage<sizeof(Ty), std::alignment_of<Ty>::value>::type data; }; </code></pre> <p>Then, in my class, I can have a member such as <code>manually_constructed<OtherClass> object</code> and a private static method such as:</p> <pre><code>static void construct_object(OtherClass *p) { try { new(p) OtherClass(/* Risky arguments */); } catch(...) { new(p) OtherClass(/* Fallback arguments */); } } </code></pre> <p>Finally, in my initializer list, I can have <code>object(construct_object)</code>.</p> <p>With this solution, all member objects are stored within the containing object, there is no additional space overhead, all member objects are constructed in the correct order, and manually constructed objects will be destructed automatically.</p>
