Error: cannot specify explicit initializer for array

Question

I\'m using Visual Studios 2013 and I keep getting this error yet I don\'t understand why.

class CLI{
    string commands[2] = {\"create\", \"login\"};
public         


        

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2013 is not completely C++11 compliant, so, like Tobias Brandt said, you'll need to use a constructor to initialize those members.

Braced init lists are a C++11 feature.

Answer 2

I don't think that in-class member initializers are implemented in VC2013. Instead, initialize the array in a constructor. For example:

class CLI{
    string commands[2];
public:
    CLI() : commands {"create", "login"}
    {}
};
