                    the member initialization list
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

This code

    static struct Error {
        int child_pid = 0;
        struct {
            bool s_sensor = false;
        } opt;
    } ss;

gives a warning message

    'Error::opt' should be initialized in the member initialization list
[-Weffc++]

But Error::opt is already initialized, since its only member is initialized.
