Tested against MinGW 4.4.0

The following code fails to compile, with the two specializations yielding
different error messages.

Test code:

template< typename T >
struct test {
   test() : data{} {}

   T data;
};

int main()
{
   test<int> x;
   test<int*> y;
   return 0;
}


Compiler output:
||=== BraceInitBug01, Debug ===|
main.cpp||In constructor 'test<T>::test() [with T = int]':|
main.cpp|10|instantiated from here|
main.cpp|3|error: aggregate value used where an integer was expected|
main.cpp||In constructor 'test<T>::test() [with T = int*]':|
main.cpp|11|instantiated from here|
main.cpp|3|error: cannot convert '<brace-enclosed initializer list>()' from
type '<brace-enclosed initializer list>' to type 'int*'|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===|
