a question about syntax of declaration with inheritance...

[SpreadTooThin]

If this is the implementation of the method in the cpp file:

dbgBuf(std::streambuf* output_buffer) : buffer(output_buffer),
at_start(true), level(0), log_on(true)
{
}

What should the declaration of the method look like in the header file?

Judging by the presence of what looks like an initialiser list,
it should be a constructor. But the name of this function is not
proper, it lacks the class name, so it can't be an out-of-class
definition of a member. Any out-of-class definition has the
qualified name form (blah::foo or damnit::bar).
