Auto-type members

by Ville Voutilainen

Excerpt:

This paper is a record of discussion about non-static data members with deduced types, aka auto members with non-static data member initializers. Such a facility has been proposed by various people at various times, and Faisal Vali created a prototype implementation for it. This paper is NOT a proposal, this paper merely records the discussion and records the reason why Vali ultimately decided not to go further with such a proposal.
