 PHP: Constructors - Manual
If a class has no constructor, the constructor of the base class is being called, if it exists.
In PHP 3, the function B() in class A will suddenly become a constructor in class B, although it was never intended to be....
This is fixed in PHP 4 by modifying the rule to: 'A constructor is a function of the same name as the class it is being defined in.'.

 kirupa.com - AS1 OOP: Custom Object Classes
Class instances in Actionscript 1.0 are defined with a constructor function.
Constructor functions are functions that are used to create or construct an instance of your new custom object.
Because it will be used as a constructor function and not a normal function, what we have here is the beginnings of the House class definition.

This is fixed in PHP 4 by modifying the rule to: 'A constructor is a function of the same name as the class it is being defined in.'.
Thus in PHP 4, the class B would have no constructor function of its own and the constructor of the base class would have been called, printing 'I am the constructor of A.

 CLHS: Macro DEFSTRUCT
The symbols which name the slots must not be used by the implementation as the names for the lambda variables in the constructor function, since one or more of those symbols might have been proclaimed special or might be defined as the name of a constant variable.
If a non-nil prefix is given, the name of the reader function for each slot is constructed by concatenating that prefix and the name of the slot, and interning the resulting symbol in the package that is current at the time the defstruct form is expanded.
The copier function creates a fresh structure that has the same type as its argument, and that has the same component values as the original structure; that is, the component values are not copied recursively.

 ITSE 1311 Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Functions should always be placed within the section with the calls to a function in the section so that the functions are created before being called.
A function that is used as the basis for an object is called an object definition, or a constructor function.
When you create a function that will be used as an object method, you use the this reference in the same manner as you do when creating a constructor function.

 Untitled Document   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
A constructor function is any function that has the same name as the classs.
Multiple constructors can be defined for each class as long as they are distinguishable by the number and types of their arguments.
In addition to its initialization role, a constructor function may also perform other tasks when it is called and can be written in a variety of ways.

 Classes with Pointer Data Members
L1's constructor function is called at the beginning of every iteration of the loop, and its destructor function is called at the end of every iteration of the loop.
Destructor functions are defined using syntax similar to that used for the constructor function (the name of the class followed by a double colon followed by the name of the function).
Recall that the declaration of a class's copy constructor is similar to that of its default (no-argument) constructor: the function has no return type (not even void), and its name is the same as the name of the class.

 Client-Side JavaScript Reference
All parameters are passed to functions by value; the value is passed to the function, but if the function changes the value of the parameter, this change is not reflected globally or in the calling function.
Assigning a function to a variable with the Function constructor.
Thus, a called function can call its caller without knowing the name of the particular caller, provided it knows that all of its callers have the same form and fit, and that they will not call the called function again unconditionally (which would result in infinite recursion).

Add after 3.9(12): The function Parent_Tag returns the tag of the parent type of the type whose tag is T. If the type does not have a parent type (that is, it was not declared by a derived_type_declaration), then No_Tag is returned.
The function Constructor is expected to create the object given a reference to an object of type Parameters.
The function Parent_Tag returns the tag of the parent type of the type whose tag is T. If the type does not have a parent type (that is, it was not declared by a derived_type_declaration), then No_Tag is returned.

 Constructor Failures (or, The Objects That Never Were)
Function try blocks were added to C++ to slightly enlarge the scope of exceptions that a function can catch.
For a constructor to have an empty throw-specification, all base and member subobjects must be known to never throw, whether they have throw-specifications that say so or not.
Constructor function try blocks are useful only to translate exceptions emitted from base or member constructors, and all other function try blocks are rarely if ever useful at all.

 Details of the Document Object Model (DOM)
If you add a new property to an object that is being used as the prototype for a constructor function, you add that property to all objects that inherit properties from the prototype.
The constructor functions shown so far do not let you specify property values when you create an instance.
So far, the constructor function has created a generic object and then specified local properties and values for the new object.

 PHP: Constructors and Destructors - Manual
Classes which have a constructor method call this method on each newly-created object, so it is suitable for any initialization that the object may need before it is used.
Note that this occurs even if the old constructor function is abstract or final (for instance, if you were intending to only use it in a sub-class).
It might be convenient for *you* to have a constructor on that object, but when you're only one of several thousand people that are using it, your convenience isn't generally among the design criteria.

Note that both the destructor and operator= must return the nodes of a linked list to free storage, and both the copy constructor and operator= must make a copy of an existing linked list.

Legality Rules The actual parameter for function Constructor in an instantiation of Generic_Dispatching_Constructor shall be a primitive operation of type T. Notwithstanding what it says elsewhere in this International Standard, the actual subprogram for function Constructor in an instantiation of Generic_Dispatching_Constructor may be abstract.
Otherwise, Dispatching_Constructor dispatches to the version of Constructor for the type identified by the tag Tag, passing Params, and returns the result.
Because there is no way to write a constructor, Claw uses a giant case statement, with the resulting maintenance problems.

 Constructor functions -- Version 1.5
The constructor function has the same name as the class that contains it.
If no constructor function is explicitly declared--that is, if you don't create a function whose name matches that of the class--the compiler automatically creates an empty constructor function for you.
A class can contain only one constructor function; overloaded constructor functions are not allowed in ActionScript 2.0.
