Bug #: 51805 Summary: Invalid list-initialization accepted Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: schaub.johan...@googlemail.com Either I'm missing something or GCC should reject this code according to 13.3.3.1p4 (the initializer-list constructor is non-viable and the copy/move constructors would require user defined conversions respectively to accept "{1, 2, 3}"): struct A { A(initializer_list<int>); }; A a{{1, 2, 3}}; People were initializing their vectors using "{{1, 2, 3}}", perhaps they are used to do such by following the analogous "array<>" initialization notion.
