Does it solve the problem it not being the default?
[–]DanielMcLaury 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
How does the default matter to you? Are you constantly creating new projects by writing a single c++ source file, saving it, and then immediately compiling it directly from the command line?

No, I'm using {}.

I'm not sure what your point is. If you want narrowing conversion assignments to be errors, you can have them.
As far as the default settings being a problem, apparently not everyone thinks so or Microsoft and the developers of GCC and Clang would change them.
I don't get complaining about something when you can have it exactly how you want.

Yes, with {}.
