Method signature in C++

[Ganesh]

Hi

I am new to C++. I have found a method written like as below.

FdoMySqlSchemaManager::FdoMySqlSchemaManager(GdbiConnection*
connection, FdoStringP mqlSchemaName) :
FdoGrdSchemaManager( connection ),
mMySqlSchemaName(mqlSchemaName)
{
}

What does this ":" mean here and what does this method's signature mean
??

can anyone help me..

thanks in advance

Google for [c++ constructor].

Then read your tutorial, for a while. C++ is complex, and leaping into the
code won't work.

Hi Ganesh,

FdoMySqlSchemaManager::FdoMySqlSchemaManager(GdbiConnection*
connection, FdoStringP mqlSchemaName) :
FdoGrdSchemaManager( connection ),
mMySqlSchemaName(mqlSchemaName)

is a constructor of the class FdoMySqlSchemaManager and is passing the
parameter conection to its parent class FdoGrdSchemaManager and is
setting the value of the member variable mMySqlSchemaName to that of
the parameter mqlSchemaName.
mMySqlSchemaName could also have been a parent class but I'm assuming
it is a member variable as it has 'm' prefixed.

Google or read up on "Initialization list". FdoGrdSchemaManager and
mMySqlSchemaName are being initalized by the values in parenthesis, which
are passed to the constructor.

As for the signature, the constructor takes a GdbiConnection pointer and an
FdoStringP and returns nothing (constructors don't return values)
