How do you initialise your members?

(Non) Static Data Members Initialization, from C++11 till C++20

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

With Modern C++ and each revision of the Standard, we get more comfortable ways to initialize data members. There’s non-static data member initialization (from C++11) and inline variables (for static members since C++17).

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to use the syntax and how it has changed over the years. We’ll go from C++11, through C++14, and C++17 until C++20.

Updated in July 2022: added more examples, use cases, and C++20 features.
