>Description:
When compiling this piece of code with -W

  static const struct {
      const char* const s;
  } f[] = { { "foo" }, { "bar" } };

the compiler emits the warning:

  foo.c:2: warning: non-static const member `const char* const <anonymous struct>::s' in class without a constructor

Under normal circumstances I think I do understand the warning. But in this particular case instances of the
struct

a) are initialized explictly
b) can't be created by anywhere else because the struct
is anonymous

So I think the warning is not justified.
