c++ - Initialize a vector of pairs in one line

Question

I want to initialize a std::vector (of std::pair), with k objects, with the pair of values shown below.

Here is my attempt:

// int k
std::vector <std::pair<Point::FT, int> >
    v(k, (std::numeric_limits<FT>::max(), -1));

The error:

usr/include/c++/4.6/bits/stl_vector.h: In member function ‘void std::vector<T, Allocator>::_M_initialize_dispatch(_Integer, _Integer, std::__true_type) [with _Integer = int, _Tp = std::pair<float, int>, _Alloc = std::allocator<std::pair<float, int> >]’:

Assuming Point::FT is something for which numeric_limits::max() is valid,

std::vector <std::pair<Point::FT, int>>
        v(k, std::make_pair(std::numeric_limits<FT>::max(), -1));
