------- Comment #7 from jason at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-09-17 21:17 ------- 8.5.1 says "An aggregate is an array or a class (Clause 9) with ... no base classes (Clause 10)...."
Lawrence's suggestion won't work because the copy constructor is deleted. To make aggregate initialization work, we need to expand the definition of aggregate to include classes with user-provided constructors that are all deleted. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35782
