Could you explain how does object definition bounds with the variable initialization, denoting initialization.
#include <iostream>
int a = 5; //definition
int main{ std::cout << a; }
sec. 1.8/1:
An object is created by a definition,[...]
a is statically initialized to 5. Initialization occurs as a part of an object definition, or it is independent from definition?
From §7/8:
A definition causes the appropriate amount of storage to be reserved and any appropriate initialization (8.5) to be done.
So yes, a definition causes initialization.
However, initialization (and object creation in general) can be caused without a definition, which is described by the omitted part of your quote (§1.8/1):
An object is created by a definition (3.1), by a new-expression (5.3.4) or by the implementation (12.2) when needed.
An object's life time begins after its initialization has completed. It is not possible to define an object without initializing it. Even if you say int a;, you define and initialize a, although this particular kind of initialization (called "default-initialization") does nothing and leaves the object a uninitialized.
