'symbol': cannot be used before it is initialized
The indicated symbol cannot be used before it is initialized. In practice, this means that a variable cannot be used to initialize itself.
- Do not initialize a variable with itself.
The following example yields C3536 because each variable is initialized with itself.
// C3536.cpp
// Compile with /Zc:auto
int main()
{
auto a = a; //C3536
auto b = &b; //C3536
auto c = c + 1; //C3536
auto* d = &d; //C3536
auto& e = e; //C3536
return 0;
};
