Currently, we allow new char[]{"foo"}, but not new char[4]{"foo"}.
We should accept the latter too: [dcl.init.list]p3.3 says to treat
this as [dcl.init.string].

We were rejecting this code because we never called reshape_init before
the digest_init in build_new_1.  reshape_init handles [dcl.init.string]
by unwrapping the STRING_CST from its enclosing { }, and digest_init
assumes that reshape_init has been called for aggregates anyway, and an
array is an aggregate.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?

This is OK, but now I wonder why your earlier addition,

           /* This handles code like new char[]{"foo"}.  */
           else if (len == 1
                    && char_type_p (TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (type))
                    && TREE_CODE (tree_strip_any_location_wrapper ((**init)[0]))
                       == STRING_CST)
             {
               vecinit = (**init)[0];
               STRIP_ANY_LOCATION_WRAPPER (vecinit);
             }

isn't handled by the block you're changing in this patch.  Why isn't
DIRECT_LIST_INIT_P true for new char[]{"foo"}?

Yes, I was hoping this hunk would handle the new char[4]{"foo"} case too,
but for new char[]{"foo"} DIRECT_LIST_INIT_P is false because earlier in
build_new we called reshape_init:

4011       /* Otherwise we should have 'new T[]{e_0, ..., e_k}'.  */
4012       if (BRACE_ENCLOSED_INITIALIZER_P (elt))
4013         elt = reshape_init (type, elt, complain);

which unwraps the { } from {"foo"}, so it's no longer a list init.

Ah, I see.

We
won't get there with new char[4]{"foo"} because TREE_CODE (type) will
not be ARRAY_TYPE; instead, nelts is set to INTEGER_CST 4 when we know
the array bound.

I could make it so that we call reshape_init in build_new for the [4]
case too, but it was uglier than this fix.

Should I go ahead with this patch as-is or would you prefer any changes?

Go ahead with this for now, but I notice that we also still don't support

new char[4](1,2,3,4);

because the handling of parenthesized-init is limited to the deduced array size case.

It would be nice to find a way to combine the two places that we're messing with array initializers.
