[Voted into WP at October, 2009 meeting.]
7.6.19 [expr.assign] paragraph 9 has the following example:
complex<double> z; z = { 1,2 }; // meaningz.operator=(1,2) z += { 1, 2 }; // meaningz.operator+=(1,2)These comments make it look as if the assignment operator takes twoarguments, which is obviously not the case. It would be better if thecomments read something like
// meaningz.operator=(complex<double>(1,2))or even
// meaningz.operator=({1,2}), resolves to //z.operator=(complex<double>(1,2)
Proposed resolution (July, 2009):
Change the example in 7.6.19 [expr.assign] paragraph 9 asfollows:
[Example:
complex<double> z; z = { 1,2 }; // meaningz.operator=({1,2}) z += { 1, 2 }; // meaningz.operator+=({1,2}) int a, b; a = b = { 1 }; // meaninga=b=1; a = { 1 } = b; // syntax error—end example]
