G++ simply ignores all initializer labels.  I have already send a bug
report, here it is again:

$ cat init.cc
struct X { int a, b; };

struct X f (int a, int b)
{
  struct X y = { b: b, a: a }; // labels ignored by g++
  return y;
}

int main ()
{
  struct X x = f (42, 0);
  if (x.a != 42 || x.b != 0)
    abort ();
  exit (0);
}
$ gcc init.cc
$ ./a.out
Aborted (core dumped)
