Constructs an empty initializer list.
Parameters
(none).
Exceptions
noexcept specification: noexceptComplexity
Constant.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | #include <iostream>#include <initializer_list> int main() { std::initializer_list<int> empty_list; std::cout << "empty_list.size(): " << empty_list.size() << '\n'; // create initializer lists using list-initialization std::initializer_list<int> digits {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; std::cout << "digits.size(): " << digits.size() << '\n'; // special rule for auto means 'fractions' has the // type std::initializer_list<double> auto fractions = {3.14159, 2.71828}; std::cout << "fractions.size(): " << fractions.size() << '\n';} |
Output:
1 2 3 | empty_list.size(): 0digits.size(): 5fractions.size(): 2 |
Notes
Despite a lack of constructors, it is possible to create non-empty initializer lists. Instances of std::initializer_list are implicitly constructed when:
- a braced-init-list is used in list-initialization, including function-call list initialization and assignment expressions (not to be confused with constructor initializer lists)
- a braced-init-list is bound to
auto, including in a ranged for loop
