Construct with a literal array

[Craig Pemberton]

Hi. I'm trying to initialise an array in a constructor. I know I can do it like the following:

double* data;
data = new double[9];
data[0] = 1;
data[1] = 0;
// . . .  

What I would really like to do is something like this:

double* data;
data = (double*){ 1, 0, 0,
		  0, 1, 0,
		  0, 0, 1 };

But this code gives me an error:

error: expected primary-expression before ‘{’ token

Is there a way to write clean code that is more like the second block of code?

well, i'm not %100 sure but i guess {} are used only for initialization with decleration.
Like;

double data[9] = { 1, 0, 0,
		  0, 1, 0,
		  0, 0, 1 };
