Pretty much, no.  [my paraphrase]  :-)   
   
Constructors are called from the bottem of the class hierarch to the top, so   
at that point, your instance of "class A" will just be class A (not some  
arbitrary subclass), and even if you override func()'s implementation in a  
subclass, in the constructor (of the baseclass "A") you will be calling a pure  
virtual function.
