No. I’m saying people who don’t understand C++ aren’t going to have good ideas about how to make initialization better.
And yes - comments which simply name call can be safely discard.
I'm confused. Who's name calling? Are you trying to imply stuff about me (and if so, what gave you the idea I don't understand C++?)?
Please read this thread, in particular the comments by James20k (who, incidentally, is a C++ standards committee member): https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/yzhh73/p2723r0_zeroini...
This was three years ago. He enumerates numerous reasons for introducing zero-initialisation as I described, and yet somehow here we are, with C++26 just around the corner, and safety on everyone's lips. Is it part of C++26 now? Nope...
