Why in this example
struct Foo {
atomic<int> x = 1;
};
the compiler (gcc 4.8) is trying to use the atomic& operator=(const atomic&) which is deleted, (hence the example wont compile), while here
struct Bar {
Bar() { x = 1; }
atomic<int> x;
};
it is calling the int operator=(int) as expected?
PS: I already know that
struct Xoo {
atomic<int> x{1};
};
is fine (anyhow the better way to init x), but I am still curious about why Foo is broken.
PS: I misread the compiler error (and forgot to include it in the quesiton). It actually says:
error: use of deleted function ‘std::atomic<int>::atomic(const std::atomic<int>&)’
std::atomic<int> x = 1;
^
[...] error: declared here
atomic(const atomic&) = delete;
^
so my above statement "...is trying to use the atomic& operator=(const atomic&) was just plain wrong.
