Array in C++ 11

Question

How to use aggregate initialization as the following line gives me error (expected ;)

 std::array<int, 5> i_array1{ {3, 4, 5, 1, 2} };

However I am able to compile following line of code

std::array<int, 5> a2 = {3, 2, 1,10,12};

I am trying to getting used to new array container. I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. Looking for any help. Regards

The first version is fine. Perhaps your compiler does not fully support C++11. — juanchopanza, Nov 18 '14 at 08:12
IIRC, this was not fully implemented in VS2012. It compiles in VS2013 — Niall, Nov 18 '14 at 08:13
You cannot make a compiler support that. You can only upgrade to VS2013 which afaik does support this properly. — stijn, Nov 18 '14 at 08:15
@AliKazmi Unless you work at Microsoft on their compiler, and can make a private patch to the VS2012 compiler, then you can't. The only way to get better support is to upgrade to a newer version. — Some programmer dude, Nov 18 '14 at 08:15

According to this page on MSDN that Visual Studio 2012 does not support initialiser lists but 2013 does.

This is wrong. `std::array` is an aggregate and doesn't use `initializer_list`s. – Rapptz Nov 18 '14 at 08:27
