Thanks for the quick reply!

Well I could do that, but I feel that it doesn't convey the message of "set all
fields to zero" as well, and it's also more verbose...

It seems that Sparse's behavior is the same as GCC's. It warns on '{ 0 }'.
(Note that in Sparse, the attribute must be specified after the closing brace.)

Personally, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be implemented. I think
almost all cases of '{ 0 }' are intended to initialize a structure to zero, not
just set the first element to 0. And '{ 0 }' will always do the same thing no
matter what the internal arrangement of the structure is.
