Bug ID: 61122 Summary: too many initializers Product: gcc Version: 4.7.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: f.heckenb...@fh-soft.de g++ says "too many initializers" for an array of vectors with initializers, but only within a struct. Not sure if it should work (I don't see why not), but it seems inconsistent that it only fails within a struct. Also, the error message is misleading ("too many initializers" even for an empty brace-list). #include <vector> std::vector <int> a1[] { { } }; std::vector <int> a2[] { { 1, 2, 3 } }; std::vector <int> a3[] { std::vector <int> () }; std::vector <int> a4[] { std::vector <int> (1) }; struct s { std::vector <int> b1[] { { } }; std::vector <int> b2[] { { 1, 2, 3 } }; std::vector <int> b3[] { std::vector <int> () }; std::vector <int> b4[] { std::vector <int> (1) }; }; % g++ -std=c++11 test.cpp test.cpp:10:32: error: too many initializers for 'std::vector<int> [0]' test.cpp:11:40: error: too many initializers for 'std::vector<int> [0]' test.cpp:12:49: error: too many initializers for 'std::vector<int> [0]' test.cpp:13:50: error: too many initializers for 'std::vector<int> [0]'
