Summary: 
The GL Shading Language Specification says that arrays of floats can be created using a constructor. The Apple implementation fails.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open OpenGL Shader Builder
New Vertex Shader
Cut and past in the following code 

-------------------------------
#version 120

void main()
{
	float a[5] = float[5](3.4, 4.2, 5.0, 5.2, 1.1); 
	
	gl_FrontColor = gl_Color;
	gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_MultiTexCoord0;
	gl_Position = ftransform();
}


Expected Results:
The shader should compile

Actual Results:
The following error messages are given

ERROR: 0:5: 'array of float' : constructor not supported for type 
ERROR: 0:5: 'array of float' : no matching overloaded function found 
ERROR: 0:5: 'a' : redefinition 

Notes:
The shader is the default shader in shader builder, with the #version added, and the float array declaration. The array declaration is copied directly out of the GL Shading Language Specification Version 1.20r6 page 19. It's the 2nd line of code from the bottom of the page.
