Is it legal to do the following?
#include <iostream>
struct Foo
{
int bar;
int baz;
};
int main()
{
Foo instance = { 5, instance.bar };
std::cout << instance.baz << std::endl;
}
I think it's not because as far as I know the order of initialization is unspecified and the bar field can be initialized after baz.
Am I right?
If you liked your conundrum, this is really gonna bake your noodle:
#include <iostream>
struct Foo
{
int bar=0;
int baz=1;
};
const int cool(const Foo& f)
{
std::cout << "Bar: " << f.bar << " Baz: " << f.baz << std::endl;
return f.bar;
}
int main()
{
Foo instance = { 5, cool(instance) };
std::cout << instance.baz << std::endl;
}
What a previous poster correctly quoted: c++ std draft doc
...all value computations and side effects associated with a given element are sequenced before those of any element that follows it in order.
