    Reading a good book about C++ might help.
    
    What you do here
    class A {
      int i;
      int p;
    public:
    ==>  A() {A(0); };
      A(int j) {i=j; p=0; cout << "in A constuctor:\np=" << p << endl;};
      int getp() { return p; };
    };
    
    is not redirecting from one constructor to another, but
    you create an unnamed, temporary object and call its
    conversion constructor. The object you're presently in
    in the first constructor is not change, and is left
    uninitialized.
