Is double-braced scalar initialization allowed by the C++ standard?

-
I have the following code:

int x = {{}};


Is this syntax valid according to the C++ standard? (I'm interested in C++11 and later.)

When using the latest compilers there is no problem, however in some older ones (e.g. GCC 4.8.5) it gives following error:


error: braces around scalar initializer for type 'int'


This is ill-formed. gcc is wrong to accept it and clang seems to allow it as an extension, as it warns about it.

I'm going to quote the latest draft, but it doesn't make a difference. List initialization works as follows as per [dcl.init.list], where T is int in this case:


If the initializer list is a designated initializer list, [...] => it's not
If T is an aggregate class [...] => it's not
If T is a character array [...] => it's not.
If T is an aggregate [...] => it's not (only arrays and classes are aggregates)
If the initializer list has no elements [...] => it doesn't
If T is a specialization of std::initializer_list [...] => it's not
If T is a class type [...] => it's not
If T is an enumeration with fixed underlying type [...] => it's not
If the initializer list has a single element of type E [...] => a braced initializer list has no type, so no
If T is a reference type [...] => it isn't
If the initializer list has no elements [...] => it doesn't
Otherwise the program is ill-formed

Meaning of `{}` for return expression

-
15 1 I found by accident that the following compiles: #include <string> #include <iostream> class A{ int i{}; std::string s{}; public: A(int _i, const std::string& _s) : i(_i), s(_s) { puts("Called A(int, const std::string)"); } }; A foo(int k, const char* cstr){ return {k, cstr}; // (*) } int main(){ auto a = foo(10, "Hi!"); return 0; } The line of interest is (*). I guess the function foo is equivalent to: A foo(int k, const char* str){ return A(k, cstr); } However, is there a special name for this mechanism in (*)? Or is it just the simple fact that the compiler knows which constructor to call due to the return type? ...

Get current scroll position of ScrollView in React Native

-
Is it possible to get the current scroll position, or the current page of a <ScrollView> component in React Native? So something like: <ScrollView horizontal={true} pagingEnabled={true} onScrollAnimationEnd={() => { // get this scrollview's current page or x/y scroll position }}> this.state.data.map(function(e, i) { <ImageCt key={i}></ImageCt> }) </ScrollView> Try. <ScrollView onScroll={this.handleScroll} /> And then: handleScroll: function(event: Object) { console.log(event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y); }, Disclaimer: what follows is primarily the result of my own experimentation in React Native 0.50. The ScrollView documentation is currently missing a lot of the information covered below; for instance onScrollEndDrag is completely undocumented. Since everything here relies upon undocumented behaviour, I can unfortunately make no promises that this information will remain correct a ...
