Instantiating class

Jul 13th, 2008

Is this two ways of instantiating class both acceptable?(My intention is to create CBox on stack instead of heap)

CBox a=CBox(1);
CBox b(2);

Definition of CBox is as followed:

class CBox
{
public:
	int abc;
	CBox(int var){
		abc=var;
	}
 
};
class CBox
{
public:
	int abc;
	CBox(int var){
		abc=var;
	}
	
};

Are you new ing? If so, that object is on the 'heap'.

Are you instantiating an object within a function? If so, that object is on the 'stack'.
