The resolution of issue 1214 makes it ill-formed to use an initializer of the form ({...}) with a variable of a non-class type. This can cause problems with a mem-initializer of the form
constexpr cond_variable() : cond(PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER) {}
If pthread_cond_t is an array, PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER will be a braced-init-list and the mem-initializer will be ill-formed.
Rationale (August, 2011):
A non-static data member initializer can be used in this case.
