Help me sort out the meaning of “{}” as a constructor argument
I've been programming professionally for over 20 years, most of it in C++.  I really like developing fast code, and C++ used to be my favorite tool for the job.But the language complexity gets more insane with every revision.  It's now at the point where Scott Freakin' Meyers can't figure out the interpretation of a short little chunk of code.I'm now actively looking for gigs in which I can develop high-performance code in a language _other than_ C++, just because it's such a minefield.I don't follow the discussions of the standards committee carefully, but it seems like they must place almost no premium on keeping the language (and its programs) understandable by non-language-lawyers.
