Hi,
I think there is a bug in g++ 4.4 concerning the implementation of initializer
list. N2672
The following program does not compiles, but it should be accepted by g++.
// /opt/gcc-4.4/bin/g++ --std=c++0x -Wall
int main()
{
class X
{
public:
X(): data {1,2,3,4,5} {}
private:
const short data[5];
};
const float * pData = new const float[4] { 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 };
return 0;
}
$ /opt/gcc-4.4/bin/g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-cygwin
Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.4
Thread model: single
gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC)
$ /opt/gcc-4.4/bin/g++ --std=c++0x -Wall g++4.4BugN2672.cpp
g++4.4BugN2672.cpp: In constructor 'main()::X::X()':
