            Bug ID: 64696
           Summary: [C++14] braced-init-list does not cause expected
                    aggregate initialization
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: hstong at ca dot ibm.com

In the test case below, C++14 specifies that aggregate initialization is
performed in subclause 8.5.4 [dcl.init.list] paragraph 3 for the braced-init-
list containing "DESIGNATOR" in the source.

Said aggregate initialization should leave the "x" member of the temporary with
a value of 2.

GCC does not appear to understand this to be the case since the static_assert
should evaluate to false but no diagnostic appears.

If the resolution of Core Issue 1467 is taken into account, then the case with
of -std=gnu++1y -DDESIGNATED still behaves similarly. This result is rather
surprising since the natural interpretation of that designated initializer is
that it applies directly to the "a" member.


### SOURCE (<stdin>):
struct A {
   const A &a; int x = 2;
};

extern A a0;

#if DESIGNATED
# define DESIGNATOR .a =
#else
# define DESIGNATOR
#endif
constexpr int x = A{ DESIGNATOR A{ a0, 4 } }.x;

static_assert(x != 2, "Expected diagnostic");

int main() { }


### COMPILER INVOCATION:
g++ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c++1y -x c++ -


### COMPILER OUTPUT:
No text; RC=0


### EXPECTED OUTPUT:
<stdin>:14:1: error: static assertion failed: Expected diagnostic
