Description Hallvard B Furuseth 2008-09-11 16:29:28 UTC 
struct Foo { int i; char a[]; } foo = { 1, "" };   // No warning
struct Bar { int i; char a[]; } bar = { 1, {0} };  // Warning

Line 1 passes -pedantic, but C99 6.7.2.1p16 says it is invalid:
Flexible array members are ignored except with ',', '->',
and for aligning the size of the struct.

Related: Bug 20407: g++ does reject it, even without -pedantic.
