This syntax is not portable. Sun C, for example, does not like it:
$ cat foo.c
typedef struct
{
/* Relative year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds. */
long int year;
long int month;
long int day;
long int hour;
long int minutes;
long int seconds;
long int ns;
} relative_time;
static relative_time const RELATIVE_TIME_0 = { };
$ cc -c foo.c
"foo.c", line 13: warning: syntax error: empty initializer
