Bug ID: 94685
Summary: Misleading error: array must be initialized with a
brace-enclosed initializer
Product: gcc
Version: 10.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
using A = int[1];
using AA = A[1];
AA a1{A{1}};
ntconsarr.cc:3:9: error: array must be initialized with a brace-enclosed
initializer
3 | AA a1{A{1}};
| ^~~~
This clearly *is* a brace-enclosed initializer, so the error is not telling us
the real problem.
Clang is better:
$ clang++ ntconsarr.cc
ntconsarr.cc:3:9: error: cannot initialize an array element of type 'int' with
an rvalue of type 'A' (aka 'int [1]')
AA a1{A{1}};
^~~~
EDG is different, but I'm not sure it's correct:
$ edg --c++14 ntconsarr.cc
"ntconsarr.cc", line 3: error: a value of type "int *" cannot be used to
initialize an entity of type "int"
AA a1{A{1}};
^
