Todd Greer already posted one possible test, but a much simpler version is
extern array<int, 2> a;
int x = a[0];
array<int, 2> a = { 1, 2 };
int main()
{
assert( x == 1 );
}
As you state, it works only on compilers that get order of initialization
(and a few other portions of the C++ standard) correct. :-)
