gcc 2.95.2 - error in static init of tables

[Eric HEBERT]

Is it a bug  or a regression???
 
 
There is a problem during the static table (stucture table ) initialisation
like this one :
                                                   
typedef struct _MyStructure {
                                                   
int a : 8;
                                                   
int b : 8;
                                                   
int : 0; /* <= problem with gcc version 2.95.2 */
                                                   
int val;
                                                   
} MyStructure;
                                                   
All fields declared after the line "int : 0;" are initialisated to 0 !!
                                                   
The line "int : 0;" is an  field alignment directive (see the Kernighan
& Ritchie) and not a  "reset" !
                                                   
Is it a regress !
                                                   
Example to have the problem :
 
                                                   
#include <stdio.h>
                                                   
typedef struct _MyStructure {
                                                   
int a : 8;
                                                   
int b : 8;
                                                   
int : 0; /* <= problem with gcc version 2.95.2 */
                                                   
int val;
                                                   
} MyStructure;
                                                   
typedef struct _MyStructure2 {
                                                   
int a : 8;
                                                   
int b : 8;
                                                   
int val;
                                                   
} MyStructure2;
                                                   
typedef struct _MyStructure3 {
                                                   
int : 0;
                                                   
int a : 8;
                                                   
int b : 8;
                                                   
int val;
                                                   
} MyStructure3;
                                                   
#define TABSIZE 2
                                                   
#define VAL0 234
                                                   
#define VAL1 643
                                                   
MyStructure tab[TABSIZE] = {
                                                   
{
                                                   
2, 3, VAL0
                                                   
},
                                                   
{
                                                   
5, 33, VAL1
                                                   
}
                                                   
};
                                                   
MyStructure2 tab2[TABSIZE] = {
                                                   
{

5, 33, VAL1
                                                   
}
                                                   
};
                                                   
MyStructure3 tab3[TABSIZE] = {
                                                   
{
                                                   
2, 3, VAL0
                                                   
},
                                                   
{
                                                   
5, 33, VAL1
                                                   
}
                                                   
};
                                                   
int val[2] = { VAL0, VAL1 };
                                                   
int
                                                   
main()
                                                   
{
                                                   
int i = 0;
                                                   
for(i = 0; i < TABSIZE; i++) {
                                                   
if(tab[i].val != val[i]) {
                                                   
printf("Unexpected val for tab[%d].val : %d instead of %d\n", i, tab[i].val,
val[i]);
                                                   
}
                                                   
}
                                                   
for(i = 0; i < TABSIZE; i++) {
                                                   
if(tab2[i].val != val[i]) {
                                                   
printf("Unexpected val for tab2[%d].val : %d instead of %d\n", i, tab[i].val,
val[i]);
                                                   
}
                                                   
}
                                                   
for(i = 0; i < TABSIZE; i++) {

}

return 0;
                                                   
}
