Re: [Tinycc-devel] { .field = value } struct initialization alternative

No, it's a compilation error (error: field expected), and I can't reproduce it in a small program. The original file has hundreds of thousands of loc.

I'll investigate and send you a small self-contained example.

Next time, please be specific in your bug reports, it should contain a
self-contained example of the problem you're seeing.  With the info
available I constructed the example below, and it works just fine.

Then I realized that maybe you indeed mean GNU designated initializers and
the runtime behaviour instead of not being able to compile something.  I
was able to generate a segfault at runtime when using the GNU form (i.e.
'{ foo: val }').  That's now fixed in mob.

% cat alloc-init.c
typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t;
struct S {
     int a, b;
};

extern void * malloc(size_t);
extern void * memcpy(void *, const void *, size_t);
extern int printf(const char *, ...);
void *memdup(const void *src, size_t sz);
#define ALLOC_INIT(type, ...)   \
         (type *)memdup((type[]){ __VA_ARGS__ }, sizeof(type))

int main()
{
   struct S *ps = ALLOC_INIT(struct S, {.a = 3, .b = 4});
   printf("%d %d\n", ps->a, ps->b);
   return 0;
}

void *memdup(const void *src, size_t sz) {
         void *mem = malloc(sz);
         return mem ? memcpy(mem, src, sz) : 0;
}

Ciao,
Michael.
