Discussion:

Similar to core issue 1270's resolution, 23.3.3.1 [array.overview]/2 should cover aggregate-initialization in general. As it stands, that paragraph solely mentions copy-list-initialization — i.e. it is unclear whether the following notation is (guaranteed to be) well-formed:

std::array<int, 1> arr{0};

P0; move to Tentatively Ready.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4567.

1. Change 23.3.3.1 [array.overview] p2 as indicated:

   -2- An array is an aggregate (8.5.1) that can be list-initialized with the syntax

   array<T, N> a = { initializer-list };
   

   where initializer-list is a comma-separated list of up to N elements whose types are convertible to T.
