Does in class member initialization takes place at compile time or run-time?

Question

In C++11 a new feature was introduced where the programmer can initialize class member variables inside class\'s definition, see code below:

struct foo
{ 
  int         


        

Answer 1

It's just syntactic sugar. Also consider that an instance usually means memory which has to be initialized with the correct values. Just because these values are provided with a different syntax does not change the fact that the memory needs to be initialized - which happens at run-time.
