In the following snippet no warnings are produced. g++4.4.3 -Wall -pedantic
//f is
void f(int );
f(3.14);
double d = 3.14;
int i = d+2;
I
Apart from what other answers mention it is also worth mentioning that in C++0x {} initialization doesn't narrow. So instead of getting a warning you'll get an error for example
void f(int x)
{
// code
}
int main()
{
f({3.14}); // narrowing conversion of '3.14000000000000012434497875801753252744674682617e+0' from 'double' to 'int' inside { }
}
g++ 4.4 and above support initializer list (with -std=c++0x option)
