When initializing a flexible array member with an unbraced list initializer gcc
complains. I know that if I use the fully braced form a1={1,{2,3}} then it is
ok. Why is the unbraced form accepting only one element for a flexible array(of
size=0) when for a normal array it accepts more that one?(i.e accept as many
elements as there are in the normal array).

#include <stdio.h>
struct A {
int x;
int y [];
};
struct A a1 = {1, 2,3};
int main(){
printf("%d %d %d\n", a1.x, a1.y[0], a1.y[1] );
return 0;
}

------- Additional Comments From bangerth at dealii dot org 2004-03-24 15:46 -------
gcc 3.3 and later report this:
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.3.4-pre/bin/gcc -c x.c
x.c:6: warning: excess elements in struct initializer
x.c:6: warning: (near initialization for `a1')
This is also what icc reports, so I assume that it is the correct
error warning message.
