FP: cpp:S810 on std::string s{4, 'a'};

[KUGA2]

• What language is this for? cpp
• Which rule? Target type is a plain char and should not be used to store numeric values.sonarlint(cpp:S810)
• Why do you believe it’s a false-positive/false-negative? We are using constructor (2) which clearly takes a number and a char. I see no violation of this rule.
• Are you using
  • SonarLint - which IDE/version? VSCode / v4.1.0
    • in connected mode with SonarQube or SonarCloud? yes
• How can we reproduce the problem? Give us a self-contained snippet of code (formatted text, no screenshots)

#include <string>

std::string s{4, 'a'};

My bad. I cannot use {} init here. Then it uses an {char, char, …} initalizer list. I need to call: std::string s(4, 'a');
