Optional/default parameters in class functions

[Echyon]

In the thread "Making a argument optional to function", it is stated that to set default values for arguments of a function you can simply do so in the function definition, like:

int myfunc(int a, int b, int c=3) {...}

This then automatically puts c to 3 in the function body if a call like myfunc(1,2); is made, if I understood correctly. However, this does not seem to hold for class functions. For example, something like:

class classy {
   public:
   int class_func(int, int, int); // class function prototype
   }

int classy::class_func(int a, int b, int c=3) {...}

fails to compile. What I would like is to be able to call class_func outside of this class (by including it as a header in another macro), optionally specifying c. If c is not specified in the call, it should use a default value.

The default argument should be specified in the function declaration/prototype.

class classy {
public:
	int class_func(int, int, int = 3);
}

int classy::class_func(int a, int b, int c) {...}

Ah, thanks, it looks like that solved it!
