The caret diagnostics point to the initializer. "near initialization" says (or should say) what field GCC thinks is being initialized, which may not be obvious from looking at the initializer (consider a 100-element structure where the initializer for one element is missing, resulting in errors for subsequent elements having the wrong type; being told which element GCC thinks matches the initializer with a bad type may help you find where the missing initializer is). -- Joseph S.
