Subject: cfront 2.0 bug, re general initializer in initializer list?
Message-ID: <1972@sunquest.UUCP>

  This is a repost of a question from a few weeks ago, which received no
reponses. The following code :

  struct x{
        int z;
  };

  int *a[] = {
    &( ( (struct x *)0)->z)
  };

  main() {
  }


gives the following compiler error message :

 line 5: sorry, not implemented: general initializer in initializer list


  The same code is acceptable in cc, OASYS Designer C++, and g++ version
1.34.2. But SUN's C++, which claims to be a direct port of AT&T's 2.0 C++,
gives this error.


-  Can anyone comment on why this wasn't implemented in C++, but is implemented
   in C?

- What is "general" about this initializer?


Thanks in advance -
