auto Keyword

 

The latest version of this topic can be found at auto Keyword.

The auto keyword is a declaration specifier. However, the C++ standard defines an original and a revised meaning for this keyword. Before Visual C++ 2010, the auto keyword declares a variable in the automatic storage class; that is, a variable that has a local lifetime. Starting with Visual C++ 2010, theauto keyword declares a variable whose type is deduced from the initialization expression in its declaration. The /Zc:auto[-] compiler option controls the meaning of the auto keyword.

Syntax

auto declarator ;  
auto declarator initializer;
