vector and initializer_list reference

[jmichae3]

there is a problem with the vector and initializer_list docs regarding size_type. in gcc at least (maybe it's in the standard?), size_type is currently defined within the vector class.

so in order to use it, you must use the more verbose
std::vector<USER_TYPE>::size_type
not
size_type
otherwise you get a "not declared" error.

apparently initialzer_list is auto-included past a certain c++ compiler version.
but should probably include it anyway when you need to use it, because people using an older compiler should be provided for.

What are you getting at with this? Are you indicating some deficiency in the link you made? If so, what does vector::operator[] have to do with initializer_lists?

Also, there is a "Spotted an error? contact us" link at the bottom of every page that you may use to report errors.
