What's the difference between `auto x = vector()` and `vector x`?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am writing some code and have a question.
What is the difference between auto x = vector<int>(); and vector<int> x;? Are they all the same or there's some difference with the complexity?

The first results in a call to a default constructor and a call to a move constructor. The second results in a call to a default constructor. Even if the compiler optimizes both to result in the same assembly, the second one is the one to go for readability.

They have the same effect since C++17. Both construct an object named x with type std::vector<int>, which is initialized by the default constructor of std::vector.
Precisely the 1st one is copy initialization, x is copy-initialized from a value-initialized temporary. From C++17 this kind of copy elision is guaranteed, as the result x is initialized by the default constructor of std::vector directly. Before C++17, copy elision is an optimization:
even when it takes place and the copy/move (since C++11) constructor is not called, it still must be present and accessible (as if no optimization happened at all), otherwise the program is ill-formed:
The 2nd one is default initialization, as a class type x is initialized by the default constructor of std::vector.
