Yes, designated initializers are of course a GNU extension to C++.  I'm
surprised that icc accepts them in its strict mode.

In GNU C++, it makes sense for us to accept the same extensions that are
accepted in GNU C.  So, if GCC accepts this, I think G++ should too.  (I don't
know what the initialization of "id_struct" with "0" means, though; does it
only initialize the first element of id_struct::is_ip_addrs?)  However, the GCC
and G++ code that processes initializers is, I think, mostly if not totally
distinct.  So, it's likely that some significant work would need to be done to
handle this case.
