C++11中initializer lists的使用

Before C++11,there was no easy way to do things like initialize a std::vector or std::map(or a custom container) to a set of values. You could do so for an old C-style array, but not easily for STL collections. Initializer Lists provide a solution to this problem. Thus, like with the auto keyword, they work to remove a lot of the verbosity that has traditionally attached with using the STL collection classes.

Uniform Initialization expands on the Initializer List syntax, to provide a syntax that allows for fully uniform type initialization that works on any object --removing the distinction between initialization of aggregate + non-aggregate classes, arrays, STL/custom collection classes, and PODs.

To support initializer list in a class (i.e. if creating your own collection), you simply define a constructor that takes a std::initializer_list as its parameter, which can then be used like a collection.

C++11引入了初始化列表来初始化变量和对象。自定义类型，如果想用初始化列表就要包含initializer_list头文件。

C++11将使用大括号的初始化(列表初始化)作为一种通用初始化方式，可用于所有类型。初始化列表不会进行隐式转换。
