Initialize array of objects

Question

If I were to write a working code of what I want to accomplish, it would be this:

Sprite s1(img_path1);
Sprite s2(img_path2);
Sprite s[] = { s1, s2 }

I want to create the objects inside the {} of array declaration instead of first putting the objects into variables and then in the array.

I checked out this post before asking this question and I will clarify a few things first:

1. I am compiling with -std=c++11
2. I have not defined a copy constructor of my own

I'm trying to create an array like this:

Sprite s[] =
{
    Sprite(img_path1),
    Sprite(img_path2)
};

After executing that statement, the contents of s are the same as if I created the array of objects using the default constructor:

Sprite s[2];

The problem seems not to be with the default copy constructor because the following executes perfectly fine:

sp = Sprite(img_path);
Sprite sp1(sp);
std::cout << sp1.getAspectRatio();
