It is no longer legal to initialize arrays and structs with single
scalar values (that ispc used to smear across the array/struct
elements). Now, initializers in variable declarations must be
{ }-delimited lists, with one element per struct member or array
element, respectively.
There were a few problems with the previous implementation of the
functionality to initialize from scalars. First, the expression
would be evaluated once per value initialized, so if it had side-effects,
the wrong thing would happen. Next, for large multidimensional arrays,
the generated code would be a long series of move instructions, rather
than loops (and this in turn made LLVM take a long time.)
While both of these problems are fixable, it's a non-trivial
amount of re-plumbing for a questionable feature anyway.
Fixes issue #50.

In initializer expressions with variable declarations, it is no longer

legal to initialize arrays and structs with single scalar values that then
|

initialize their members; they now must be initialized with initializer
|

lists in braces (or initialized after of the initializer with a loop over

array elements, etc.)
