Is this form of initialization valid for arrays?
The following code only compiles to clang AFAIK:
struct A {
char x[4];
A():x("bug") { }
};
int main()
{
char x[4] ("bug");
}
But according to this gcc bug report it is valid code and has been patched for a later version of GCC (someone should report this to Microsoft as well then.)
Rationale for fixing this error:
§ 8.5 / 13
The form of initialization (using parentheses or =) is usually minor, but does matter when an initializer or object is initialized to a class type; See below. If the entity initialized does not have a class type, the list of expressions in the parenthesized Initializer must be a single expression.
The initialization of arrays char
with string literals is covered in § 8.5.2, which shows only an example using the equal sign. Since this kind of initialization is different from other kinds, is this code valid by the standard?
