Hi, this issue, error recovery in C++98 mode, is a bit tricky: as far as I can see, it boils down to the fact that in C++98 mode we don't want to handle specially std::initializer_list. Otherwise, after the error message we crash in convert_like_real where we try to handle ck_list, @ line 6056. With the below we emit the exact same diagnostic we emit for init_list or any other non special name. Tested x86_64-linux. Thanks, Paolo. ////////////////////
