[Bug c++/36963] New: [4.4 Regression] Bogus narrowing conversion error in initializer list.

["chris dot fairles at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

gcc 4.1.2 (x86_64-redhat-linux mind you) and gcc 4.4.0 (mainline) with (or
without) any/all of -Wall -Wextra -pendantic compiles the following code
without error/warning.

const float* foo()
{
  static const float p[] = {
    -0.02435L
  }
  return p;
}

However, add in -std=c++0x/gnu++0x and the following error is issued:

error: narrowing conversion of
-2.43499999999999999996828708645479899530528200557455420494e-2l to const float
inside { }

Now change the testcase to:

const float* foo()
{
  static const float p[] = {
    -0.25L
  }
  return p;
}

and it compiles w/o error/warning with -std=c++/gnu++0x
