Designated initializers apply to both array elements and structure and union members. (This is another case that logically would describe (a) that the C99 feature is accepted for older standards; (b) a limited subset is accepted for C++; (c) there's also this legacy pre-standard syntax you may see in existing code but shouldn't used in new code.) -- Joseph S.
