[Moved to DR at the November, 2014 meeting.]

Proposed resolution (June, 2014):

This issue is resolved by the resolution of issue 1467.

Date: 2013-03-03.00:00:00

According to bullet 1 of 12.2.4.2.6 [over.ics.list] paragraph 6,

Otherwise, if the parameter type is not a class:

  • if the initializer list has one element, the implicit conversion sequence is the one required to convert the element to the parameter type;

  • ...

This wording ignores the possibility that the element might be an initializer list (as opposed to an expression with a type, as illustrated in the example). This oversight affects an example like:

  struct A { int a[1]; };
  struct B { B(int); };
  void f(B, int);
  void f(int, A);

  int main() {
    f({0}, {{1}});
  }
