where does this "..." range syntax come from? i know gcc supports the
*case* range extension, but i don't know where the above *arrray*
range syntax comes from.
just like it looks ... instead of writing '0' IPR_SERIAL_NUM_LEN
times, gcc will fill it for you
this:
#define IPR_SERIAL_NUM_LEN 5
{ [0 ... IPR_SERIAL_NUM_LEN - 1] = '0' }
is an easier way to write:
{ '0', '0', '0', '0', '0' }
