Using brace-init for a non-trivial multi-variable class





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I am trying to make a certain template class brace-initializable, e.g.



template<typename T>
class A {
private:
std::vector<T> _data;
std::size_t _m;
std::size_t _n;

public:
Matrix(std::size_t m, std::size_t n, const T &fill); // regular (non-trivial) constructor
Matrix(std::initializer_list<T> list);
};


However, I'm having trouble coming up with the implementation. I want to be able to do:



A<int> a = {{1, 2, 3, 4}, 2, 2};
// or something similar...e.g. C++11 style brace-init
A<int> a {{1, 2, 3, 4}, 2, 2};


I've tried:



template<typename T>
Matrix<T>::Matrix(std::initializer_list<T> list)
: _data(*list.begin()),
_m(*(list.begin() + 1)),
_n(*(list.begin() + 2)) {}


But that doesn't work for me. Help!

In order to convert from an initializer_list to a vector you may copy all the elements.
STL makes this pretty nice with the begin/end iterators. Here's all the possible constructors for vector



    Matrix(std::initializer_list<T> list, std::size_t m, std::size_t n)
: _data(list.begin(), list.end()) // This is what might help
, _m(m)
,_n(n)
{

}

  • Wow, you are a genius. Never thought that you could have extra parameters after the list. I don't know why; it makes perfect sense. Thanks!
