My initialization list isn't setting my variables. No compiler errors, no run time errors.

Task::Task(const std::string &task,
           const std::string &project = "none",
           const std::string &context = "none",
           Task::Priority priority = Task::NORMAL,
           bool done = false,
           bool nextAction = false) :
     _task(task), _project(project), _context(context), _priority(priority),
     _done(done), _nextAction(nextAction) 
{ }

Post a complete example. That piece of code says nothing, as it is correct by itself.

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){    Task *task = new Task("Hello world");    std::cout << task->getTask() << std::endl;    return 0;    }

Your code is not complete. Code for Task::getTask() is missing.

edit: ok, way too slow...

Your code isn't correct as it is. You have two constructors taking a single std::string by constant reference as an argument, which results in an ambiguous constructor call.

That makes me believe your compiler is not catching it and calling the empty one in your code, not reporting an error or warning for the other constructor, which in turn makes you believe the initializer list isn't working because it's not called.
