Hi,

I am trying to test a command line parser. So I came up
with this (simplified):

   struct test {
     int          argc;
     const char** argv;

     template< int N >
     test(const char* (&a)[N])
       : argc(N-1)
       , argv(a)
     {
     }
   };

   const char* a1[] = { "1", "22", "333" };
   const char* a2[] = { "1", "22", "333" };

   const test v1[] = { test(a1)
                     , test(a2) };

   const test v2[] = { test( { "1", "22", "333" } )
                     , test( { "1", "22", "333" } ) };

   template<int N>
   void testParser(const test (&arr)[N]);

   int main()
   {
     testParser(v1);
     testParser(v2);
     return 0;
   }

 Both VC7.1 and Comeau choke on 'v2'. (Comeau says
 "expected an expression", VC issues a "missing ')'
 before '{'" -- not very helpful.)
 Obviously I can't initialize the struct with an
 array literal. I can, however, initialize it with
 an array object. The reason behind this escapes
 me.
 What's more important, I would really like to have
 my test cases in one line and not split into two
 objects.

 Ideas anyone?
