I think this is confirmed. Clang prints:

pr40076.cc:1:17: error: 's3' can not be defined in a type specifier
int i = (struct s3 { int j; }) { 1 }.j;
                ^
1 error generated.

for both C and C++.

GCC prints:

pr40076.cc:1:17: error: initializer element is not constant
 int i = (struct s3 { int j; }) { 1 }.j;
                 ^

which is less clear.
