For the follwoing code snippet a bogus diagnostic is emitted since
GCC 4.1.0:
================================
int main()
{
int a[2] = { 2, 3 };
int b[2] = a;
}
================================
bug.cc: In function 'int main()':
bug.cc:4: error: cannot convert 'int [2]' to 'int [2]' in initialization
This message is confusing since transforming int[2] into int[2]
shouldn't be hard. The problem is that you cannot use an array
for initialization at all.
Before we got:
bug.cc: In function 'int main()':
bug.cc:4: error: invalid initializer
which is not too helpful, but at least correct.
