Say I have a variable auto x
that I want to initialize to 7
using brace initialization, simple:
auto x {7};
Except I learned that x is NOT an integer, but an initialization list itself. Why? Is there a specific reason why the committee would decide that auto
should grab the initialization list in the case of a single auto value, or do they expect us to just realize these shouldn't be used together. I cant seem to think of a possible reason i would want an initializer list to be stored into auto as opposed to the value
