Is aggregate initialization with a new struct valid?

Question

Would a phrase such as Struct* a = new Struct{1,2,3}; be valid?

It compiles and runs just fine, but I'm wondering if there's anything funky going on behind the scenes.

struct Struct {
    int a;
    int b;
    int c;
}

Answer 1

That code will allocate memory for a new Struct and initialize the members with 1, 2 and 3, and finally put the pointer to that structure into the variable a . I have no idea whether you call that funky, though.
