The following code (extracted from ffmpeg) produces "error: initializer element
is not constant":

typedef struct {
    int num;
    int den;
} AVRational;

static AVRational frame_rate = (AVRational) {25,1};

Replacing the last line with plain

static AVRational frame_rate = {25,1};

fixes it -- but shouldn't those lines be identical? They produced identical
code (and no warnings) with older gccs.

------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-07-02 17:32 -------
Actually (AVRational) {25,1} is a compound literal but not a constant.

What options are you using?  It is a GCC extension this is a constant really. 
Now we do error out for -std=gnu99.

As mentioned it is only a GCC extension that the value is a constant.
