Hi,

this was reported by Lukas Ruf (ruf at rawip org) on gcc-bugs 29 May 2003,
however I can't find it in the database (or even in the list archive...?).

Test case:

struct parameter_struct_t {
  char short_option;
  char *long_option;
};

parameter_struct_t *parameters[] = {
  {
    'f';
    "from";
  };
};

g++ (GCC) 3.3.1 20030619 (prerelease)

mainline says:
