2825. Range-based for statement using a braced-init-listSection: 8.6.5 [stmt.ranged] Status: DRWP Submitter: Arthur O'Dwyer Date: 2023-11-08 Liaison: EWG[Accepted as a DR at the March, 2024 meeting.]
Consider:
for (int i : { 1, 2, 3 }) // argument-dependent lookup for begin(std::initializer_list<int>)
/* ... */;
This is undesirable; instead, a member function begin should be preferred.
Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2023-11-09):
Change in 8.6.5 [stmt.ranged] bullet 1.3 as follows:
begin-expr and end-expr are determined as follows:
- if the for-range-initializer is an expression of type of range is a reference to an array type R, begin-expr and end-expr are range and range + N, respectively, where N is the array bound. If R is an array of unknown bound or an array of incomplete type, the program is ill-formed;
- if the for-range-initializer is an expression of type of range is a reference to a class type C, and searches in the scope of C (6.5.2 [class.member.lookup]) for the names begin and end each find at least one declaration, begin-expr and end-expr are range .begin() and range .end(), respectively;
- otherwise, begin-expr and end-expr are begin(range ) and end(range ), respectively, where begin and end undergo argument-dependent lookup (6.5.4 [basic.lookup.argdep]). [Note 1: Ordinary unqualified lookup (6.5.3 [basic.lookup.unqual]) is not performed. —end note]
