Discussion:

29.6.2.2 [valarray.cons] says:

valarray(initializer_list<T> il);
Effects: Same as valarray(il.begin(), il.end()).

But there is no valarray constructor taking two const T*.

[ 2009-10-29 Howard: ]

Moved to Tentatively Ready after 6 positive votes on c++std-lib.

Proposed resolution:

Change 29.6.2.2 [valarray.cons]:

valarray(initializer_list<T> il);
Effects: Same as valarray(il.begin(), il.endsize()).
