Bug ID: 71542
Summary: unhelpfull error for wrong initializer of initializer
list
Product: gcc
Version: 6.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: denis.campredon at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
For the following code
------------
#include <initializer_list>
struct s
{
int *i;
};
void f()
{
std::initializer_list<s> initializer = {{false}};
s array[] = {{true}, {true}};
}
---------------
g++ emits the following error message :
---------------
main.cpp: In function 'void f()':
main.cpp:10:42: error: could not convert '{{false}}' from '<brace-enclosed
initializer list>' to 'std::initializer_list<s>'
std::initializer_list<s> a = {{false}};
^
main.cpp:11:32: error: cannot convert 'bool' to 'int*' in initialization
s array[] = {{true}, {true}};
^
main.cpp:11:32: error: cannot convert 'bool' to 'int*' in initialization
--------------
But the message for the initializer_list is not really helpfull. I'd expect a
similar message than with the array.
