>Description:
This bug only occurs with -std=gnu99.
Initializing an empty struct with an empty struct does not
work if the empty struct is explicitely casted to the struct
type. GCC bails out with "initializer element not constant"
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following code with "gcc -std=gnu99":
typedef struct { } foo_t;
/* This one works. */
foo_t bar = { };
/* This one fails with "initializer element is not constant. */
foo_t baz = (foo_t) { };
int
main ()
{
return 0;
}
