[Bug c++/14075] New: ("foo") accepted as char[] initializer

[porten at kde dot org]

The following code should not be accepted according to what I understand from 
section 8.5.2 in the latest standard edition I could find: 
 
int main() 
{ 
  const char s[] = ("foo"); 
} 
 
HP's aCC throws an "Illegal initializer" error on this one for example. 
 
Note that this report is similar to #11250. This time it's about the C++ 
frontend, though.
