Section: 9.5.2 [dcl.init.aggr]Status: C++17Submitter: Richard SmithDate: 2015-04-22

[Adopted at the February/March, 2017 meeting.]

This issue is resolved by the resolution ofissue 1630.

Notes from the October, 2015 meeting:

CWG agreed that copy initialization should be used; paragraph 7 should have wording similar to paragraph 2. See alsoissue 1518.

The resolution of issue 2272 also resolves this issue.
