Good point, I forgot about designated initializers.

What I suggest is to add a prefix that could replace: "this->"

void A::foo(int & var)

{

     var = 1; // changes parameter

     .var = 2; // changes member variable

}


This specific syntax is taken by designated initializers. In

void A::foo()
{
   B b{ .var = 42 };
};

are you initializing the `var` data member of B via aggregate init, or assigning 42 to this->var and then using some other form of init for B?

That having been said, I'd hardly claim that this is a "major" problem deserving its own syntax; renaming the parameter or the member variables following proper code conventions sounds like a better idea anyways.
