There are two extensions to C++ in play here:

* Compound literals (documented as supported as an extension in C++).

* Designated initializers, documented as unimplemented in GNU C++.  This 
example in fact uses the obsolete GNU syntax rather than the standard C99 
one.  I'd like to deprecate that obsolete syntax properly - the obstacle 
to doing so is deployed glibc headers that use the obsolete syntax in 
macros on the basis that (some version of) G++ does in fact support 
designated initializers, but only with the old and not the C99 syntax!
