Kindly consider: struct MyStruct { Foo* foo; Bar& bar; }; void Blah(Foo* foo, Bar& bar) { // create+initialise struct MyStruct m = {foo, bar}; } This works fine on a gcc port. However vc6/.net give this cryptic error: 'm' : non-aggregates cannot be initialized with initializer list. It appears that it's the Bar& that's the problem, not the Foo*. Anyone able to shed light on this for me? thanks, G.A. Back to top Victor Bazarov Guest Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 2:45 pm    Post subject: Re: Reference + initialiser oddity.

Anyone able to shed light on this for me? VC++ has problems with brace-enclosed initialisers for aggregates. The behaviour is somewhat fixed in the version 7.1 (I checked).

Right, so my code's all good and legal - hurrah! thanks, G.A. Back to top Ioannis Vranos Guest Posted: Sat Jan 29, 2005 1:21 am    Post subject: Re: Reference + initialiser oddity.

Anyone able to shed light on this for me? Your code compiles with VC++ 7.1. Provided that I provide a definition for both Foo and Bar. -- Ioannis Vranos http://www23.brinkster.com/noicys Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
