Test case 1

Brace-initializing an array of a class without a public copy constructor gives
an error in some cases but succeeds in others.  After discussing the problem
here [1], I believe this is bug in GCC.

Attached are three test cases:
test1-fails.cc: Initialization of member array of non-literal type (error)
test2-works.cc: Initialization of member array of literal type (compiles)
test3-works.cc: Initialization of static array of non-literal type (compiles)
test4-works.cc: Initialization of single member of non-literal type (compiles)

The error given is:
$ g++ -Wall -Wextra -std=c++11 -c test1-fails.cc 
test1-fails.cc: In constructor ‘Parent::Parent()’:
test1-fails.cc:13:35: error: use of deleted function ‘Child::Child(const
Child&)’
     Parent () : children {{5}, {7}} {}
                                   ^
test1-fails.cc:7:5: note: declared here
     Child (const Child &) = delete;
     ^

$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.9.1 20140903 (prerelease)

By way of comparison, Clang 3.5.0 compiles all three test cases without errors.
