Yes, and it provides some valuable functionality to do so occasionally.

Just place the constructor declaration in the private section rather than the public section:

class test {
public:
  test ( int init );
private:
  test();
};

In the test class, the single argument constructor is required by the outside world because it's the only one visible, but the implementation code of the test class can also use the default constructor.
