             Bug #: 14948
           Summary: braced-init-list initialization of template static
                    data member rejected
           Product: clang
           Version: 3.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++11
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

clang 3.2 rejects the following program:

struct X {};
template<typename T> struct Q { static X x; };
template<> X Q<int>::x{};

source.cpp:3:31: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
template<typename T> X Q<T>::x{};

This is required by the standard (14.7.3p13) to allow direct
default-initialization.

Also broken are the cases where X is an array, where X is a nonclass type,
where the braced-init-list is nonempty, and where the definition is a template
declaration instead of a template static data member explicit initialization:

template<> X Q<int>::x[]{};
template<> int Q<int>::x{};
template<> int Q<int>::x{1};
template<typename T> X Q<T>::x{};

Non-template static data member definitions are fine.

As a workaround, one can insert an equals sign before the braced-init-list,
although where X is a nonaggregate class type this has semantic result of
changing direct-initialization to copy-initialization.

gcc (4.7.2) accepts this.
