#Why doesn't this brace initialisation work?

struct Foo {};
struct Bar : Foo { int x; };

Bar bar = { 1 };

I get Initializer for aggregate with no elements requires explict braces and Missing field 'x' initializer from my linter on the final line.

If I remove Foo as a parent of Bar then these issues go away.

Try Bar bar{{1}};

The first error is replaced by Excess elements in struct initializer and the second remains
