Just wanting to see how you guys view this, but as far as I understand, a constructor for a class is only used to initialize variables.

Is this true? THanks

What about a shared resource manager that puts a lock on the resource in the constructor and unlocks it in the destructor? The constructor may or may not initialize data members, but also does other work.
