Fails to compile, but should work:

struct A { 
  char x[4]; 
  A():x("bug") { } 
};

Error i get is:

"main.cpp:3: error: array used as initializer"

Why do you think it should work?  
For example, the following equivalent code is invalid as well:

char x [4] ("bug");

This code is equivalent and is valid. At least, I don't see the Standard
forbidding it. GCC is the only compiler I tested (comeau/edg, clang) that
rejects it.
