Bug ID: 83328
Summary: string.insert does not return a iterator when using
initializer lists
Product: gcc
Version: 7.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gcc-bugs at marehr dot dialup.fu-berlin.de
Target Milestone: ---
Hello gcc-team!
According to http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2017/n4659.pdf
[24.3.2.6.4]
or http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/insert [9]
```
iterator insert(const_iterator p, initializer_list<charT> il
```
should return an iterator, but the following code
```
#include <string>
int main() {
std::string s = " world!";
auto it = s.insert(s.begin(), {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'});
return 0;
}
```
fails with
```
string.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
string.cpp:5:8: error: ‘void it’ has incomplete type
auto it = s.insert(s.begin(), {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'});
^~
```
This behaviour is since g++-4.9
