explict keyword for constructors with no arguements ?

[Ganesh Gella]

Hi all,

I have seen few places where constructors are declared like this.

class A {
explicit A(){};
};

I can understand this,
class A {
explict A(int i){};
};

Can some one explain the need for explict in case 1 ?

Thanks
Ganesh

I remember reading a thread about this very recently.
Search the google archives for one, may be within the last month.

That thread was /of course/ started by the very same person as this thread.
I guess he didn't believe the answers he got that time so he's going to be
disappointed to get exactly the same answer this time.
