I just thought about something.... maybe it's a bad idea to use recursive constructors because the object you're passing on hasn't been created yet?

No. When you are in the constructor, self exists. The object has been allocated and can be referenced.

The main problem about recursion in the Constructor, is the Polymorphism problem. Lets say you make a descendant class that has additional attributes... you can't call the inherited constructor because that creates nodes of its class and not of your class - unless you can pass the class type as parameter. So, it gets messy. If you use a virtual function to instantiate each node, you get around that problem.

Alright I see the problem. I guess when doing it right you'll just have to re-write and over-write the function in every sub class of the super class?
