Rule 6.9.2: Are non-top level users of basic types permitted in an alias? - gdavis - 09-10-2025
Hi,
The first exception for Rule 6.9.2 permits the use of a basic type to define a type alias. I guess the wording may be more broad than intended. For example,is the following permitted?
Code:
#include <list>
typedef std::list<int> int_list;Thank you!

The short answer is 'Yes', your example is compliant (but its possible you'll get violations when you try to put objects into or take them out of a int_list).
This is a rule we are planning to review for the next version
