I am currently working with ITK (www.itk.org) which doesn't compile with -std=c++0x in gcc 4.6.1 due to this error. Even though the proposed patch seems to be a proper solution, to me it seems to be that using -fpermissive just to come around this particular error is allowing other non-confirming code to compile as well, which may not be desired in many situations (for instance, assigning a const pointer to a non-const pointer would not be regarded as an error). In my case, I have modified the patch to throw a warning instead, but probably the best solution would be to add a sort of -fno-constexpr-initialization-check flag. I read that the previous GCC extension is deprecated now, but it is important to take into account that then it would be hard to use c++11 with older code, just because of details like this one. Thank you.
