Andreas, right. The GCC documentation says that this GCC extension documented under 
the name "Compound Literals" is supported as part of C99. But in ISO C99 only the bracket 
expression without the preceding cast would be a valid initializer. 
 
Nevertheless, the GCC documentation also says that "These extensions are available in C 
and Objective-C.  Most of them are also available in C++." IMO this means that g++ should 
support it.
