Intellisense interprets the construct auto p{"Fred"} as deduction of an initializer list. In C++17 that should not be the case.
To Reproduce
Use the following C++17 main.cpp file:
int main()
{
auto s = "fred";
auto p{s};
}along with the following (auto-generated) c_cpp_properties.json file:
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Linux",
"browse": {
"path": [
"${workspaceFolder}"
],
"limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": true
},
"includePath": [
"${workspaceFolder}"
],
"defines": [],
"compilerPath": "/usr/bin/gcc",
"cStandard": "c11",
"cppStandard": "c++17",
"intelliSenseMode": "clang-x64"
}
],
"version": 4
}Red squiggles appear under auto p. Intellisense is seeing this line as a deduction of an initializer list.
Expected behavior
auto p{s} should be recognized as p being a const char *.
