Constructor for new T[..]

[Andrei Zmievski]

I found out that it's possible to invoke a non-default constructor when
using 'new' operator to create an array of objects.

class Fred {
   public:
        Fred() { cout << "default" << endl; }
        Fred(int i, int j) { cout << i << ", " << j << endl; }
};

int main()
{
    Fred *f = new Fred[2](2, 5);
}


None of the sources I've seen say that this is legal. Is this a GCC
extension?
