How I can be sure this code is > accepted in any case? Uniform initialization initially address this issue. > Why not say constexpr cond_variable() : cond PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER { } > Out of constructor one can use "=": > > ::pthread_cond_t cond = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER; > You can define it as follows to make it work in both cases #define PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER {}
