If you compile the example from the GCC manual entry for "-Wmissing-braces"
as C++, you aren't getting any warnings about this. If you compile it a C code
everything warns fine.
I tried it with MinGW32 GCC 3.3.3, 3.4.2. I do get the warnings with a linux GCC
3.2:
test.cpp:5: warning: aggregate has a partly bracketed initializer
test.cpp:5: warning: aggregate has a partly bracketed initializer
Specs of the linux GCC:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/specs

--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix

--enable-__cxa_atexit

gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
The MinGW ones are the binaries distributed on www.mingw.net
