I've defined multiple constructors, with some default argument values in all of them. Looks correct (I can't see any ambiguity), but Scala (2.8) compiler complains:

multiple overloaded alternatives of constructor define default arguments

Does it mean that I can't define default values for overloaded constructors at all?

Let me illustrate the situation (primitivized, of course, but illustrative):


class A(subject : Double, factor : Int = 1, doItRight : Boolean = true) {

  def this (subject : Int, factor : Int = 1, doItRight : Boolean = true) = {
    this(subject.toDouble , factor, doItRight)
  }

  def this (subject : String, factor : Int = 1, doItRight : Boolean = true) = {
    this(subject.toDouble , factor, doItRight)
  }

  def this () = {
    this(defaultSubject)
  }

}
