Right now, an expression cannot start with '.', which provides the disambiguation between designators and expressions as initializers. Note that for counted_by it's the closest enclosing *definition of a structure type*. That's different from designators where the *type of an object being initialized by a brace-enclosed initializer list* is what's relevant. -- Joseph S. Myers josmy...@redhat.com
