Extended Description

The code at the bottom behaves like this with clang-12:

This actually hit our production code and took me a while to reduce. I think limiting the length of std::array to <= 256 by default is not desirable.

This is the code:

#include<array>

struct S {};

std::array a{S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{}, S{},

(I should have said limiting the length of std::array being construced via deduction guide to <= 256.)

This feels like it is behaving as expected: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#controlling-implementation-limits

Although it might be nice for the diagnostic to point out more information.

Yeah, I don't think this is actually a bug; it could be an enhancement request to support a bigger default value than 256, but unless a lot of users are hitting this issue, I think the current limit is reasonable (it's the same default as recommended by the standard in https://eel.is/c++draft/implimits#2.4). The diagnostic could be improved a bit because it's not obvious why bracket depth is involved (it's because a fold expression formally expands to a series of nested parenthesized expressions).
