initialize a const array in a class initializer in C++

by

With C++11 the answer to this question has now changed and you can in fact do:

struct a {
    const int b[2];
    // other bits follow

    // and here's the constructor
    a();
};

a::a() :
    b{2,3}
{
     // other constructor work
}

int main() {
 a a;
}
