Initialising structs in C++
- by Neil Butterworth
As an addendum to this question, what is going on here:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct A {
string s;
};
int main() {
A a = {0};
}
Obviously, you can't set a std::string to zero. Can someone provide an explanation (backed with references to the C++ Standard, please) about what is actually supposed to happen here? And then explain for example):
int main() {
A a = {42};
}
Are either of these well-defined?
Once again an embarrassing question for me - I always give my structs constructors, so the issue has never arisen before.
