[C++-sig] Default Argument passing to Constructor

[John Slater]

Hi,
 
I am stuck badly with this problem.
 
In class base I have an overloaded constructor with default arguments.
  class base
  {
       public:
            base(int k,int i=0,int x=0)
            {
            }
   };
 
 
Which is exposed to pyhton by boost as follows.
 
 .def(init<int,optional<int,int> >(args("k","i","x"),"_init_docstring"))
 
>From python I import this.
 
call the constructor
 
>>>obj.base(1) //Success
>>>obj.base(k=1, i=2) //Success
>>>obj.base(k=1, i=2, x=2) //Success
>>>obj.base(k=1, x=2) //Failure...
 
Is it I have to pass all preceding arguments, or am I missing something..
 
Please help me out
 
 
Thanks & Regards,
John Slater
