Hi John,
Instead of adding (__INTEL_COMPILER == 1400), it's better to change (__INTEL_COMPILER <= 1110) to (__INTEL_COMPILER <= 1400) for "Windows only". 

Because on Windows, icl still does not support all of the value initialization cases. But it is being worked on. 
Btw, if you'd like to test with the Intel Compiler xe 2013 SP1 beta, you can get the beta by joining the beta program - http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/392100  

Is there any way I can find out when this will be done?

Thanks,
Jennifer

It is Windows only.

> Could you fix this issue in the trunk for future releases?

Can you tell me if this is a Win32 specific failure, or does it effect Linux/Darwin as well?

I ask because gcc handles this correctly where as msvc does not.

Thanks, John.
