Each have them has different rules, different effects, and different usage depending on the context and goals. The situation is so confusing that today nobody can tell anymore which type of initialization to teach to beginners. That's nothing but a disaster. This talk will discuss the different forms of initialization, compare them to know when to use which, discuss what changed with C++14 and C++17 and what still has to change, and finally what to teach now to beginners. I promise a source of trouble and discussion. — Nicolai Josuttis IT Communication Nicolai Josuttis (http://www.josuttis.com/) is an independent system architect, technical manager, author, and consultant.
