the former, clearly. It directly follows from
int[3] a = 1;
Every element of the array is initialised to the value given.
x is
an array of arrays and hence each "element-array" is
initialised to
the array on the right hand side.
I don't like this. It adds a lot of parsing complexities just
for some
syntactic sugar with no clear benefits beyond being easier to
type. Why
not just use the existing array operations syntax?
int[3] a;
a[] = 1; // makes intent clear
int[3][3] b;
b[] = [1, 2, 3]; // fits into current syntax already
T
This is supposed to be static initialisation, which is different,
no?
