Title:
  Infinite loop printing "warning: missing braces around initializer" in
  g++

Status in The GNU Compiler Collection:
  Fix Released
Status in Linaro GCC:
  Fix Released
Status in “gcc-4.6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When compiling the attached malformed file with g++ -Wall, an infinite
  loop is entered that repeatedly prints the following message:

  g++fail.cc:3:25: warning: missing braces around initializer for ‘char
  [0]’ [-Wmissing-braces]

  This affects all versions of gcc installed on the machine: 4.4, 4.5,
  and 4.6.  The expected behavior is that the warning is printed once,
  then g++ exits (clang behaves as expected).
