what we need is more types of parenthesis initialization

[@pouet843]

When you can find 10 different ways of initializing a bloody variable in a language, how are you supposed to correctly teach it to students... I hope one day the committee will decide to break compatibility with previous versions so we can have a unique and clear way of working and learning. Because at this point, this is a total non-sense.

Love this man. Such a great educator, especially in the world of audio.

thing of nightmares

[@BrunoSantosX]

But the modern C++ initializing is failing on Xcode 14.0 with -std=c++20 or -std=gnu++20 :(

[@7alfatech860]

C++ initialisations is just getting totally out of hand. Can we please have even more ways to add inscrutable errors to our programs?

[@4otko999]

imo this reptiloid syntax int x{0} was a mistake and should not have been allowed. compiler should just optimize away assigning in int x = {}. those gimmicks always bite in the butt, c++ should have went with how other languages do that and don't reinvent the wheel. i'm absolutely OK if c++26 would deprecate all that "fancy" initialization that should never have been used in the first place. yeah, yeah, breaking changes, whatever. just print a warning when something unwanted is used.
