Hi Sorin,
the "old" notation with member : value is a GCC extension and obsolete
(but still supported) since GCC 2.5 I believe.
The only remaining possibilities are:
C99, with the .member = value notation
or the basic C, where the values have to be complete and ordered
correctly, with the obvious disadvantages.
what to do..

Hi,
I've noticed that commit 7e032d95f71442b42c821e874a26099112f4917b
(from 26 jan. 2008 !) introduces a change to the way struct members
are initialized. The comment was:
MODULES: Use standard syntax for initialization of struct members in
headers.
The change is from:
struct some_struct {
member : value
}
to
struct some_struct {
.member=value
}
This (although correct) has the unfortunate effect of breaking C++
module builds (of which I have a few) because g++ DOESN'T accept this
[C99 standard] type of initialization in
<direct/interface_implementation.h> even if surrounded with extern "C".
Is there a workaround? Do you plan to leave it as it is?
For now I've changed the affected header (specified above) to use
member:value.
Regards,
Sorin
