Guys,
I was just looking at some code where to initialize an integer
with all F's following statement is used;
unsigned int i = -1;
I want to know if this is the right way of doing the things ? if not,
what is the correct way to do this ?

unsigned int i = ~0U;
initializes to all 1's. There is no way to initialize to all
(presumably, hex) F's on a hypothetical 41-bit machine.

It is one of those awkward things.
In practise you are never likely to program a non-two's complement machine.
However one's complement and sign magnitude are allowed (one place you will
see non-two's complement integers is in the exponent of an IEEE floating
point number).
So i = ~0; is actually the best way of achieving things. But you will see i
= -1 even in production code.

It's not an integer, it's an unsigned int. Not the same. And yes,
the unsigned int will be initialized to 2**n - 1. If "sizeof
unsigned int * CHAR_BIT" is a multiple of 8, that will be a
collection of hex f.
Copying that unsigned int into an int will normally cause undefined
behaviour, because it out of range for an int. That behaviour may
be exactly what you want, or anything else. You just don't know.

Another way is :-
int i = 0xFFFF;

Another way is :-
int i = 0xFFFF;
Assuming 4-bytes int.

hem... assuming 2-bytes ints.
Check out this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
unsigned int i = 0xFFFFU;
unsigned int ii = ~0U;
printf("i is %u, ll is %u\n", i, ii);
return (0);
}

That's wrong.
unsigned int i = -1;
is guaranteed to put a value of UINT_MAX into object i.
i = ~0; operates on the sign bit of an int type value
and yields an implementation defined result.
N869
6.2.5 Types
A computation involving unsigned operands
can never overflow, because a result that cannot be
represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is
reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the
largest value that can be represented by the resulting type.

So does unsigned int i = -1;

That is one correct way to initialise an unsigned int
object with a value of UINT_MAX

There is something with initializing mutable class attributes that I am
struggling with. I'll use an example to explain:
class Father:
attr1=None # this is OK
attr2= # this is wrong
def foo(self, data):
self.attr1=data
self.attr2.append(data)
The initialization of attr1 is obviously OK, all instances of Father
redefine it in the method foo. But the initialization of attr2 is wrong

I'm writing a Windows DLL which contain some utility classes.

I have a simple struct that, say, holds a color (R, G, and B). I

the default constructor. I dislike this, but it's easy to solve: I
just make my own default constructor.
Problem:
My own default constructor is considered to be *initializing the

not. Thus, when I declare and use it before...

Hello. When I consult the ISO C++ standard, I notice that in
paragraph 3.6.2.1, the standard states:
"Objects with static storage duration shall be zero-initialized before
any other initialization takes place."
Does this mean all non-local objects will be zero-initialized before
they are initialized by their initializers(if they have)? For example:
int g_var = 3;
int main() {}
