源文件内使用unordered_map时候,例如如下demo
#include <unordered_map> void foo(const std::unordered_map<int,int> &) {} int main() { foo({}); }
GCC版本大于或者等于4.9,会报如下错误
map2.cpp:7:19: error: converting to ‘const std::unordered_map<int, int>’ from initializer list would use explicit constructor ‘std::unordered_map<_Key, _Tp, _Hash, _Pred, _Alloc>::unordered_map(std::unordered_map<_Key, _Tp, _Hash, _Pred, _Alloc>::size_type, const hasher&, const key_equal&, const allocator_type&) [with _Key = int; _Tp = int; _Hash = std::hash<int>; _Pred = std::equal_to<int>; _Alloc = std::allocator<std::pair<const int, int> >; std::unordered_map<_Key, _Tp, _Hash, _Pred, _Alloc>::size_type = long unsigned int; std::unordered_map<_Key, _Tp, _Hash, _Pred, _Alloc>::hasher = std::hash<int>; std::unordered_map<_Key, _Tp, _Hash, _Pred, _Alloc>::key_equal = std::equal_to<int>; std::unordered_map<_Key, _Tp, _Hash, _Pred, _Alloc>::allocator_type = std::allocator<std::pair<const int, int> >]’
其实就是 Implicit conversion failure from initializer list
如下测试来自 :https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26947704/implicit-conversion-failure-from-initializer-list
Testing with other compiler/library implementations: GCC < 4.9 accepts this without complaining, Clang 3.5 with libstdc++ fails with a similar message, Clang 3.5 with libc++ accepts this, ICC 15.something accepts this (not sure which standard library it is using). A couple of more baffling points: replacing std::unordered_map with std::map makes the error go away, replacing foo({}) with foo foo({{}}) also makes the error go away. Also, replacing {} with a non-empty initializer list works as expected in all cases.
实际编译过程中,我将unordered_map替换成了map,不影响适应也不会报错

The indirect initialization syntax with a braced-init-list your code is using is called copy-list-initialization.
The overload resolution procedure selecting the best viable constructor for that case is described in the following section of the C++ Standard:
§ 13.3.1.7 Initialization by list-initialization [over.match.list] When objects of non-aggregate class type T are list-initialized (8.5.4), overload resolution selects the constructor in two phases: — Initially, the candidate functions are the initializer-list constructors (8.5.4) of the class T and the argument list consists of the initializer list as a single argument. — If no viable initializer-list constructor is found, overload resolution is performed again, where the candidate functions are all the constructors of the class T and the
argument list consists of the elements of the initializer list. If the initializer list has no elements and T has a default constructor, the first phase is omitted. In copy-list-initialization, if an explicit constructor is chosen, the
initialization is ill-formed. [ Note: This differs from other situations (13.3.1.3, 13.3.1.4), where only converting constructors are considered for copy-initialization.
This restriction only applies if this initialization is part of the final result of overload resolution. — end note ].
According to that, an initializer-list-constructor (the one callable with a single argument matching the constructor's parameter of type std::initializer_list<T>
) is usually preferred to other constructors, but not if a default-constructor is available, and the braced-init-list used for list-initialization is empty.
What is important here, the set of constructors of the standard library's containers has changed between C++11 and C++14 due to LWG issue 2193. In case of std::unordered_map
, for the sake of our analysis, we are interested in the following difference:
C++11:
explicit unordered_map(size_type n = /* impl-defined */, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& alloc = allocator_type()); unordered_map(initializer_list<value_type> il, size_type n = /* impl-defined */, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& alloc = allocator_type());
C++14:
unordered_map(); explicit unordered_map(size_type n, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& alloc = allocator_type()); unordered_map(initializer_list<value_type> il, size_type n = /* impl-defined */, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& alloc = allocator_type());
In other words, there is a different default constructor (the one that can be called without arguments) depending on the language standard (C++11/C++14), and, what is crucial, the default constructor in C++14 is now made non-explicit
.
That change was introduced so that one can say:
std::unordered_map<int,int> m = {};
or:
std::unordered_map<int,int> foo() { return {}; }
which are both semantically equivalent to your code (passing {}
as the argument of a function call to initialize std::unordered_map<int,int>
).
That is, in case of a C++11-conforming library, the error is expected, as the selected (default) constructor is explicit
, therefore the code is ill-formed:
explicit unordered_map(size_type n = /* impl-defined */, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& alloc = allocator_type());
In case of a C++14-conforming library, the error is not expected, as the selected (default) constructor is not explicit
, and the code is well-formed:
unordered_map();
As such, the different behavior you encounter is solely related to the version of libstdc++ and libc++ you are using with different compilers/compiler options.
Replacing std::unordered_map
with std::map
makes the error go away. Why?
I suspect it's just because std::map
in the libstdc++ version you are using was already updated for C++14.
Replacing foo({})
with foo({{}})
also makes the error go away. Why?
Because now this is copy-list-initialization {{}}
with a non-empty braced-init-list (that is, it has one element inside, initialized with an empty braced-init-list {}
), so the rule from the first phase of § 13.3.1.7 [over.match.list]/p1 (quoted before) that prefers an initializer-list-constructor to other ones is applied. That constructor is not explicit
, hence the call is well-formed.
Replacing {}
with a non-empty initializer list works as expected in all cases. Why?
Same as above, the overload resolution ends up with the first phase of § 13.3.1.7 [over.match.list]/p1.
