Defined in header <concepts>
template< class T > concept default_initializable = std::constructible_from<T> && requires { T{}; } &&                                 /* T t; is well-formed, see below */;		(since C++20)

The default_initializable concept checks whether variables of type T can be

• value-initialized (i.e., whether T() is well-formed);
• direct-list-initialized from an empty initializer list (i.e., whether T{} is well-formed); and
• default-initialized (i.e., whether T t; is well-formed).

Access checking is performed as if in a context unrelated to T. Only the validity of the immediate context of the variable initialization is considered.

Possible implementation

template<class T> concept default_initializable = std::constructible_from<T> && requires { T{}; ::new T; };
