C++ struct default constructor

It is possible for a class to have no constructor . (An important distinction to draw here is that the JVM does not require all class files to have a constructor; however, any class defined in Java does have a default constructor if a constructor is not explicitly declared.

In C++, we can instantiate the class object with or without using the new keyword. If the new keyword is not use, then it is like normal object. This will be stored at the stack section. This will be destroyed when the scope ends.

Defining a class without a constructor but with a destructor is perfectly legal C++, but is not recommended. Your compiler will try to generate a default constructor for you, which will automatically call the default constructor of all members in your class.

Actually, yes, it is possible to bypass the constructor when you instantiate an object, if you use objenesis to instantiate the object for you . It does bytecode manipulations to achieve this. Deserializing an object will also bypass the constructor.
