Question

I am trying to initialize a set with more than one member in my member initialization list and I am not sure about the syntax. The ** is where I am getting my syntax error (without the ** of course). Thanks. Here is an example:

//=============================================================================
class myClass_t
{
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
public: // FUNCTIONS
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    //-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Constructor
    myClass_t
        (
        )
    :
        BaseClass_t( IDD_BASEPAGE ),
        **mCapabilities( 1, 2 ),
        mDevice( mCapabilities )
    {
    }

    //-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Destructor
    ~myClass_t
        (
        )
    {
    }

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
private: // DATA
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    fdx::myDevice_t               mDevice;    
    std::set<int>                 mCapabilities;

}; // end of class

} // end of namespace

If you can use the Boost Assign library, the thing you ask for is easy:

#include <boost/assign/list_of.hpp>
...
mCapabilities(boost::assign::list_of(1)(2))
...

I’ve just tested it on MSVC8 and it works fine.
