The following code is returning the compilation error below. I'm stuck understanding how there are too many initializers. This code works using vector<X>
. Does anyone know why the error is being reported and how to resolve? Thanks
#include <iostream>
#include <array>
using namespace std;
struct X {
int x, y;
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
array<X,2> a0 = {{0,1}, {2,3}};
for (auto& p : a0) {
cout << p.x << endl;
cout << p.y << endl;
}
return 0;
}
Compilation:
g++ -pedantic -Wall test116.cc && ./a.out
test116.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
test116.cc:11:34: error: too many initializers for ‘std::array<X, 2>’
array<X,2> a0 = {{0,1}, {2,3}};
Try
array<X,2> a0 = {{{0,1}, {2,3}}};
Note the extra set of braces.
It seems a bit odd but it's this way because the only member of array
is the actual array:
template <class T, size_t N>
class array {
T val[N];
// ...
};
The constructors are all implicitly defined so that array
ends up being a trivially constructable type.
