--- Comment #10 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-05-28 16:25:12 UTC ---
The code:
   array a { { "smile", 1 } };

Attempts to initialize array with { { "smile", 1 } }

which attempts to initialize pair[2] with { "smile", 1 }

which fairly obviously attemptes to initialize the first pair with "smile", and
the second pair with 1, neither of which is valid.

Why do you think the error is misattributed?
