I compiled this with gcc 3 and gcc 4 using -std=c89 and -std=c99 with
-Wall and -W.

gcc-2.95 failed
   a(&(b){c}) 
but passed
   a((b){c})


-W warns about a(&(b){}) but that is one of those cases where -W
  warns about a potential omission in a legal operation.

And yes, you're on the right track now, the braces are an initializer list.
