#590 could not convert initializer list to 'std::vector<main()::S>'

[Jim Michaels]

why main?

#include <initializer_list>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
std::vector<std::string> stringSplit(std::string s1, std::string s2){return {};}
int main(void) {
    typedef struct {
        std::string var, val;
        std::vector<std::string> splitVals;
        std::vector<std::string> splitValsDuplicates;
    } S;
    std::vector<S> vsVars={
        "PATH", getenv("PATH"),
        stringSplit(getenv("PATH"),
        ":"),
        {}//empty vector of string, right? it doesn't pass.
    };//this is the default, PATH variable, for no parameters
    return 0;
}

revised source

[Jim Michaels]

solution was to put the struct portion in curly braces inside the vector braces, wasn't thinking clearly enough, and compiler was throwing a strange error. now compiles.
