We were ICEing on the attached testcase, because in check_narrowing, for = {{}}, we wanted to check recursively the CONSTRUCTOR_ELTs, even though init in this case has 0 CONSTRUCTOR_NELTS. So I added the check for CONSTRUCTOR_NELTS > 0. Moreover, since empty scalar initializers are forbidden in C FE, I think we should error out here too. (Complex type is considered as an arithmetic type as a GNU extension and arithmetic types are scalar types.) This isn't C++11-specific as it may look from the PR. The bug exhibits when -Wnarrowing (that is implicitly enabled with C++11) is on, since in check_narrowing we have
if (!warn_narrowing || !ARITHMETIC_TYPE_P (type)) return; and with -Wno-narrowing we just return early.
