Is there any way to call some function on a class without the constructor was called ?

[tonnot]

I'd like to call some function on a class without create it
(I dont want to use the code placed at the constructor )
Any idea ?

make it a static class

What is the function to do? Scratch that, if the function operates on the class and not an instance object of the class, then make the function static.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;


class X 
{
private:
  int i;
  static int si;
public:
  void set_i(int arg) { i = arg; }
  static void set_si(int arg) { si = arg; }

  void print_i() {
    cout << "Value of i = " << i << endl;
    cout << "Again, value of i = " << this->i << endl;
  }

  static void print_si() {
    cout << "Value of si = " << si << endl;

  }

};

int X::si = 77;       // Initialize static data member

int main() 
{
  X xobj;
  xobj.set_i(11);
  xobj.print_i();

  // static data members and functions belong to the class and
  // can be accessed without using an object of class X
  X::print_si();
  X::set_si(22);
  X::print_si();
}
