Technically no. In C++, both the constructor and destructor are programmer defined to manage the life cycle of an object. For a destructor to be called, an object of the class must have been instantiated.

if you call destructor inside of constructor, what would you return from it? if you call constructor from destructor, how would you free up memory? I mean: you destroy an instance while you create (ar least) another one ^^
