How to call the right constructor of a template type?

Question

In the following code, how can I make the commented line working in the same way as the line just above of it?

I would like to make it a generic code, that call suitable constructor of a template Type.

#include <string> #include <iostream>  template <typename Type> struct Class {     Type data;     Class(Type data) : data(data) { } };  int main() {     Class<std::string> a = std::string("abc");     // Class<std::string> b = "abc";     std::cout << a.data << std::endl;     return 0; } 

Answer 1

Use braced-init-list(or uniform-initiation) to initlize the instance of Class.

Class<std::string> a{ std::string("abc") };  // works Class<std::string> b{ "abc" };               // also works
