[Boost-users] Constructing a time_iterator in a class

Hi, I have a compilation issue with time_iterator from date_time library

First, I use this object in a struct, it worked fine

typedef struct{
    ...
    time_iterator _iter;
    ...
}Timer;

But when I needed to translate my struct into a class to have more
functionality, I wasn't able to compile it :

class Timer{
    public:
        Timer();
        Timer( time_iterator & );
        ~Timer();

    private:
        time_iterator _iter;
};

...

Timer::Timer( time_iterator &it )
{
    _iter = it;
}

I got these errors :

In constructor `Timer::Timer()'
error: no matching function for call to
`boost::date_time::time_itr<boost::posix_time::ptime>::time_itr()'|
note: candidates are:
boost::date_time::time_itr<boost::posix_time::ptime>::time_itr(const
boost::date_time::time_itr<boost::posix_time::ptime>&)|
note:
boost::date_time::time_itr<time_type>::time_itr(time_type, typename
time_type::time_duration_type) [with time_type =
boost::posix_time::ptime]

It seems to mean that a cannot construct a time_iterator without
parameters... But I don't know how to fix that.
