newed array initailization

[Fariborz "Skip" Tavakkolian]

I get an internal error when compiling the following:

====================================================================
(fst@fst)$ cat bar.c++

main()
{
        char * ptr = new char[6] = {"hello"};
}
(fst@fst)$ g++ -pedantic bar.c++
bar.c++: In function `int main()':
bar.c++:4: warning: ANSI C++ forbids initialization of new expression with `='
bar.c++:4: warning: initialization in array new

(fst@fst)$ g++ -v

===================================================================

It compiles fine if the initializer is {'h', 'e' , 'l', 'l', 'o', 0}
