You can pass an initializer list as a parameter if that list can be converted to the type of the parameter. For example:
struct point { int x; int y; }; void set_point(point pt); int main() { point p; p.x = 1; p.y = 1; set_point(p); set_point({ 1, 1 }); return 0; }
This code defines a structure that has two members. In the main function, a new instance of point is created on the stack and it is initialized by accessing the members directly. The instance is then passed to a function that has a point parameter. Since the parameter of set_point is pass-by-value, the compiler creates a copy of the structure on the stack of the function. The second call of set_point does the same: the compiler will create ...
