the only thing is, I'm not calling the constructor of a base class, I'm
calling a different constructor within the same class.  e.g. 

struct agg { int x; int y;};
foo::foo(struct agg c);
{
   foo(c.x, c.y);
}
foo::foo(int a, int b) 
{
   //some code here
}

from what I've just tried it doesn't seem to work; is there an easier way
of doing this than creating another function

foo::init(int a, int b)

then calling that from the actual constructors like

foo::foo(int a, int b) { init(a,b);}
foo::foo(struct agg c) { init(c.x, c.y);}
