[Bug c/16667] New: GCC allows invalid syntax in C99 designated initializers

["segher at kernel dot crashing dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

GCC silently accepts the following invalid code (with -Wall -W, any optimization level,
whether C99 or gnu99 mode is asked for or not):

-- snip --
struct x {
        int a;
        float b;
};

struct x bla = { .a 42 };
-- snip --

(it should be   .a = 42)
