'auto' is only available to use when the type of a variable can be automatically deduced from its initializer, meaning the declaration would be redundant. It has nothing to do with type conversions.
edit: now I see what you mean in the context of adding assertions to make type conversions safer, and how there could be some parallels with auto for that
- dllthomas 6y agoIt's an example of making something explicit implicit. Whatever the answer, it won't surface a contradiction; but that doesn't mean it's not an interesting, obliquely related question.
- phkahler 6y agoIt's implicit declaration, which seems worse in some ways than implicit conversions. After a conversion you know what type you have even if not the type you started with.
