Difference between FObjectInitializer and FPostConstructInitializeProperties???

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi all, I dont understand what is the current situation on FObjectInitializer vs FPostConstructInitializeProperties

I just started and I am using the tutorials with examples to learn.

many of the examples use FObjectInitializer. However my VisualStudio doesn’t recognize it.
The templates provide me with FPostConstructInitializeProperties.

Can i have some clarification on what is going on?

with this simple code

copy paste from here

AHelloWorldPrinter::AHelloWorldPrinter(const FObjectInitializer& ObjectInitializer)
    : Super(ObjectInitializer)
{

}

I am getting these errors in VisualStudio after build.

error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

error C2143: syntax error : missing ‘,’ before ‘&’

error C2511: ‘AHelloWorldPrinter::AHelloWorldPrinter(const int)’ : overloaded member function not found in ‘AHelloWorldPrinter’

error C2065: ‘ObjectInitializer’ : undeclared identifier

error C2550: ‘AHelloWorldPrinter::{ctor}’ : constructor initializer lists are only allowed on constructor definitions

FObjectInitializer is replacemant for PCIP.

It will be default from 4.6.

Ok, so that all those tutorials are actually from the future?

Yeah it seems like the documentation was updated ahead of release (;.

That’s pretty much all I wanted to know. However I will keep the question unanswered for now in case a more in depth explanation will arrive.
