Arduino 1.5.8 not compiling array assignation: assigning to an array from an initializer list

[Gamberetto]

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

  byte array[2][2];
  array[0] = {0x0F, 0xF0};
  array[1] = {0x00, 0xFF};
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Compiles on Arduino-1.5.6-r2 - Arduino Due (Programming Port)
Doesn't compile on Arduino-1.5.8 - Arduino Due (Programming Port) with error:

error: assigning to an array from an initializer list

I suspect that this feature requires C++11. In 1.5.6, the gcc version was still older and probably accepted this as a GNU extension, which I suspect gcc stopped supporting when they completed C++11 support.

Could you see if the error still appears with this version: #2175

The easiest way is probably to use 1.5.8 and replace the sam/platform.txt file with this one: https://github.com/matthijskooijman/Arduino/blob/ide-1.5.x-c%2B%2B11/hardware/arduino/sam/platform.txt

You could also try:

byte array[2][2] = {
  {0x0F, 0xF0},
  {0x00, 0xFF},
};
