initialization of built in types in templates


// THIS CODE:
template<class Tclass C
{
public:
C()
{
T t;
data[0] = t;
}
T data[5];
};
int main(int, char**)
{
C<doublec;
return 0;
}

// END CODE

yields error: local variable 't' used without being initialized.
What can I do to make it work with built in variables, initialized as
0?

Must I really specialize for every built in type?

("%silto%c%cf%cgl%ssic%ccom%c", "ma", 58, 'g', 64, "ba", 46, 10);}

What do you want it to do? Is data[0] = T(); what you want?

What about ditching the variable t altogether:

data[0] = T();
}
T data[5];
};
int main(int, char**)
{
C<doublec;
return 0;
}

// END CODE

No.

er,
data[0] = T();
is what I meant.

Doh! thank you

T t();

didn't work for <unsigned char>. It's trying to assign a function
then.
Ian's solution did it, though.
Thx for quick response.

not just for unsigned char.

T t();

declares function T (*)(void).

you either do
T t = T();
data[0] = t;

or
data[0] = T();

Thx for quick response.
check boost::value_intialized if you have to do
the same for non POD types.

T t();
This will declare a function called 't' that takes no parameters and
returns a T.

Although you could just do it here:
data[0] = t();
data[0] = T(); as others have mentioned (including yourself in a later
post).
