Variable question

[gavr]

Why thats is possible

void func (Variable v){...}
int[]a = {1,2,3};
func(a);

and thats give an error, is that a bug?

func({1,2,3});

error: initializer list used for 'GLib.Variant', which is neither array nor struct
when

void func (int[] arr){...}
func({1,2,3});

works fine

[chrisaw (Chris Williams)]

An initializer list doesn’t have a type, so this code:

var a = {1,2,3};

fails with:

error: initializer list used for unknown type

You need to use the full array instantiation syntax when not assigning to an array or struct type:

var a = new int[] {1,2,3};
