C++ Can not initialize with {...}

Question

I am using VS2012, and I wanted to include the following map: ``` #include #include std::map code_map = { {65, 97}, {66, 98}, {67, 99}, {68, 100}, {69, 101}, {70, 102}, }; ``` However, the IDE tells me IntelliSense: Initialization with "{...}" invalid for object of type ""std::map, std::allocator>>"" Does anybody see why this error occurs? I guess that I am using C++11 if I use VS2012, so I thought that would work. Thank you for the help.

Accepted Answer

Visual Studio 2012 doesn't support initializer lists. See this for the C++11 features it does support: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh567368%28v=vs.120%29.aspx
