The rule for construction should be

"Always use () unless you want an array."

Is this really true? We use init-lists in tests to create objects.

Is this really true?

I'm not sure but I know that init-list construction is problematic because of C++ and there is nothing we can do about it except warn users in the docs.

Ah, you mean that we should explicitly dissuade users from using complex init-list expressions?

grisumbras avatar May 24 '22 07:05 grisumbras

Something like that, yes. We can probably ignore this until someone reports an actual issue.
