Use the preprocessor. Otherwise you can't get braces inside parens.

Nope. I didn't use preprocessor. But warped kudos to you for thinking of it.


Say, what about -std=gnu++0x? Then the braces can be an initializer list...



I compiled this with gcc 3 and gcc 4 using -std=c89 and -std=c99 with -Wall and -W.

gcc-2.95 failed
a(&(b){c}) but passed
a((b){c})



-W warns about a(&(b){}) but that is one of those cases where -W warns about a potential omission in a legal operation.

And yes, you're on the right track now, the braces are an initializer list.
