class A {...};
class B {...};

B b;
A a1 = {b};
A a2 = b;

可能的是,新的拷贝列表初始化的行为被定义为“良好”且一致,但是由于向后兼容性,旧的复制初始化的“奇怪”行为无法改变.
正如你可以看到,这个子句中的列表初始化规则对于直接和复制形式是一样的.
与显式相关的差异仅在关于重载分辨率的章节中描述.但是对于传统的初始化直接和复制形式是不一样的.
传统和括号初始化是单独定义的,所以有一些(可能是无意的)微妙的差异总是有潜力的.

从标准的摘录中可以看出差异：

已经提到的差异

>不允许缩小转化次数
>多个参数是可能的
>支持语法优先于initializer-list构造函数,如果它们存在：

struct A
{
    A(int i_) : i (i_) {}
    A(std::initializer_list<int> il) : i (*il.begin() + 1) {}
    int i;
}

A a1 = 5; // a1.i == 5
A a2 = {5}; // a2.i = 6

聚合的不同行为

对于聚合,您不能使用支持的复制构造函数,但可以使用传统的.

struct Aggr
    {
        int i;
    };

    Aggr aggr;
    Aggr aggr1 = aggr; // OK
    Aggr aggr2 = {aggr}; // ill-formed

在转换运算符存在时引用初始化的不同行为

支架初始化不能使用转换为参考类型的操作符

struct S
{
    operator int&() { return some_global_int;}
};

int& iref1 = s; // OK
int& iref2 = {s}; // ill-formed

4.通过其他类型的对象对类类型对象的初始化有一些微妙的差异

在本答复结束时,本标准的摘录中标有[*]的差异.

>旧的初始化使用用户定义的转换序列的概念(特别是需要复制构造函数的可用性,如上所述)
>大括号初始化在适用的构造函数中执行过载分解,即括号初始化不能使用转换为类类型的运算符

这些差异是对一些不太明显的(对我来说)的情况负责的

struct Intermediate {};

struct S
{
    operator Intermediate() { return {}; }
    operator int() { return 10; }
};

struct S1
{
    S1(Intermediate) {}
};

S s;
Intermediate im1 = s; // OK
Intermediate im2 = {s}; // ill-formed
S1 s11 = s; // ill-formed
S1 s12 = {s}; // OK

// note: but brace initialization can use operator of conversion to int
int i1 = s; // OK
int i2 = {s}; // OK

5.重载分辨率的差异

>显式构造器的不同处理

见13.3.1.7通过列表初始化进行初始化

In copy-list-initialization,if an explicit constructor is chosen,the
initialization is ill-formed. [ Note: This differs from other
situations (13.3.1.3,13.3.1.4),where only converting constructors
are considered for copy initialization. This restriction only applies
if this initialization is part of the final result of overload
resolution. — end note ]

如果你可以看到更多的差异或某种方式纠正我的答案(包括语法错误),请做.

以下是current draft of the C++ standard的相关(但长时间)的摘录(我没有找到一种方法来将它们隐藏在扰流板下)：
所有这些都位于第8.5章初始化程序中

8.5 Initializers

• If the initializer is a (non-parenthesized) braced-init-list,the
  object or reference is list-initialized (8.5.4).

• If the destination type is a reference type,see 8.5.3.

• If the destination type is an array of characters,an array of char16_t,an
  array of char32_t,or an array of wchar_t,and the initializer is a
  string literal,see 8.5.2.

• If the initializer is (),the object is
  value-initialized.

• Otherwise,if the destination type is an array,
  the program is ill-formed.

• If the destination type is a (possibly
  cv-qualified) class type:

  • If the initialization is
    direct-initialization,or if it is copy-initialization where the
    cv-unqualified version of the source type is the same class as,or a
    derived class of,the class of the destination,constructors are
    considered. The applicable constructors are enumerated (13.3.1.3),and
    the best one is chosen through overload resolution (13.3). The
    constructor so selected is called to initialize the object,with the
    initializer expression or expression-list as its argument(s). If no
    constructor applies,or the overload resolution is ambiguous,the
    initialization is ill-formed.

  • [*] Otherwise (i.e.,for the
    remaining copy-initialization cases),user-defined conversion
    sequences that can convert from the source type to the destination
    type or (when a conversion function is used) to a derived class
    thereof are enumerated as described in 13.3.1.4,and the best one is
    chosen through overload resolution (13.3). If the conversion cannot be
    done or is ambiguous,the initialization is ill-formed. The function
    selected is called with the initializer expression as its argument; if
    the function is a constructor,the call initializes a temporary of the
    cv-unqualified version of the destination type. The temporary is a
    prvalue. The result of the call (which is the temporary for the
    constructor case) is then used to direct-initialize,according to the
    rules above,the object that is the destination of the
    copy-initialization. In certain cases,an implementation is permitted
    to eliminate the copying inherent in this direct-initialization by
    constructing the intermediate result directly into the object being
    initialized; see 12.2,12.8.

  • Otherwise,if the source type is a
    (possibly cv-qualified) class type,conversion functions are
    considered. The applicable conversion functions are enumerated
    (13.3.1.5),and the best one is chosen through overload resolution
    (13.3). The user-defined conversion so selected is called to convert
    the initializer expression into the object being initialized. If the
    conversion cannot be done or is ambiguous,the initialization is
    ill-formed.

• Otherwise,the initial value of the object being
  initialized is the (possibly converted) value of the initializer
  expression. Standard conversions (Clause 4) will be used,if
  necessary,to convert the initializer expression to the cv-unqualified
  version of the destination type; no user-defined conversions are
  considered. If the conversion cannot be done,the initialization is
  ill-formed.

8.5.4 List-initialization

List-initialization of an object or reference of type T is defined as
follows:

• If T is an aggregate,aggregate initialization is
  performed (8.5.1).

• Otherwise,if the initializer list has no
  elements and T is a class type with a default constructor,the object
  is value-initialized.

• Otherwise,if T is a specialization of
  std::initializer_list<E>,a prvalue initializer_list object is
  constructed as described below and used to initialize the object
  according to the rules for initialization of an object from a class of
  the same type (8.5).

• [*] Otherwise,if T is a class type,
  constructors are considered. The applicable constructors are
  enumerated and the best one is chosen through overload resolution
  (13.3,13.3.1.7). If a narrowing conversion (see below) is required to
  convert any of the arguments,the program is ill-formed.

• Otherwise,if the initializer list has a single element of type E and
  either T is not a reference type or its referenced type is
  reference-related to E,the object or reference is initialized from
  that element; if a narrowing conversion (see below) is required to
  convert the element to T,if
  T is a reference type,a prvalue temporary of the type referenced by T
  is copy-list-initialized or direct-list-initialized,depending on the
  kind of initialization for the reference,and the reference is bound
  to that temporary. [ Note: As usual,the binding will fail and the
  program is ill-formed if the reference type is an lvalue reference to
  a non-const type. —end note]

• Otherwise,if the initializer list
  has no elements,the object is value-initialized.

• Otherwise,the program is ill-formed.
