            Bug ID: 19192
           Summary: std::array is unable to be
                    brace-initialized/universally initialized
           Product: libc++
           Version: 3.3
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs

After a Q&A on StackOverflow[1], it seems there is a bug in libc++ (though I
suppose it could be in the clang front end instead of libc++; I'm assuming
libc++) that prevents std::array from being brace-initialized. Consider the
following:

std::array<int, 2> a = {1, 2};
std::array<int, 2> b{a}; // error: no viable conversion from 'std::array<int,
2>' to 'value_type' (aka 'int')
std::array<int, 2> b(a); // works

b{a} is trying to initialize b by creating an initializer list with a in it, as
opposed to using brace/universal initialization (which would be equivalent to
b(a), which works as expected).
