Hi,
let's begin with some code, point in case here, a struct with an unnamed
union:
struct foo {
int a;
union {
int x;
};
};
Given this struct, it is possible to access the x by using ".x" on the
struct:
struct foo test;
test.x = 7; /* works */
So essentially it behaves as if the union was not there. So far so good.
But if one can use .x on the struct in this way, why is not it possible
to do the same in a C99 named initializer list?
struct foo test = {.x = 7}; /* fails */
Seems kinda counter-intuitive. Did I spot a bug^W missing feature in the
C99 standard?
