Simulatneous declare/initialize member variable

Are there any reasons that would make it bad for C++ to
allow simultaneous declaration and initilization of member data?

Current way:
------------

class DerivedClass : BaseClass {
{
   enum { lengthSV=16 }; // Length of SomeVector
   vector<double> SomeVector;

   DerivedClass( void ) : BaseClass( SomeArgument ), SomeVector(lengthSV,0.0)
   {
      // Construction of Derived Class
   };
};

Better/Worse way?
-----------------

class DerivedClass : BaseClass {
{
   enum { lengthSV=16 }; // Length of SomeVector
   vector<double> SomeVector(lengthSV);

   DerivedClass( void ) : BaseClass( SomeArgument )
   {
      // Construction of Derived Class
   };
};
