Error: Assigning to an array from an initializer list

Question

I have a class such as:

class dialog
{
    public:
    double dReturnType[][5][3];
};

 

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
include <string>

using namespace std;
#include "dialog.h";

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    dialog People;
    People.dReturnType[0][1] = {1.2,2.3,6.6};
    return 0;
}

It returns:

[Warning] extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu11 [enabled by default] [Error]: assigning to an array from an initializer list

I've looked it up online a bit and really couldn't find a way to get around this. I'd prefer not editing the class within it's on class file (kinda defeats the purpose). Any help?

Note: the class is in a separate project file

Initializer lists are just usable during initialization.

If you want use std::initializer_list after initialization:

auto init = std::initializer_list<double>({1.2,2.3,6.6});
std::copy(init.begin(), init.end(), your_array);
