Compiler Error C3852

'member' having type 'type': aggregate initialization could not initialize this member

An attempt was made to assign a default initialization as part of an aggregate initialization to a data member that cannot receive a default initialization in an aggregate initialization.

The following samples generate C3852:

// C3852.cpp
struct S
{
   short s;
};

struct S1
{
   int i;
   const S s;
};

struct S2
{
   int i;
   char & rc;
};

int main()
{
   S1 s1 = { 1 };   // C3852 const member
   // try the following line instead
   // S1 s1 = { 1, 2 };

   S2 s2 = { 2 };   // C3852 reference member
   // try the following line instead
   // char c = 'a';
   S2 s2 = { 2, c };
}
