[Mehdi AMINI via llvm-commits]

mehdi_amini added inline comments.


================
Comment at: docs/CodingStandards.rst:136
     uninitialized. Non-scalar members generally have appropriate default
-    constructors, and MSVC 2013 has problems when braced initializer lists are
-    involved.
+    constructors.

Note: the braced initializers policy is described somewhere else: http://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#do-not-use-braced-initializer-lists-to-call-a-constructor

I guess it is loosely related to the issue above, but not that much. My understanding is that the rule above forbid:
```
class X {
  std::string Name = "<uninitialized>";
}
```

I don't know the motivation for it though.
