suggestion for C/C++ warning

Would it be possible to add a warning if a struct is not completely
initialised from a literal?  eg:

typedef struct {
	int a, b, c;
} foo_t;

foo_t goodfoo = {1, 2, 3};		// ok
foo_t badfoo = {4, 5};			// warning?


Clearly use of a constructor is preferable to this initialisation style, but
for maintenance purposes it would be very nice to catch all the places
where a struct is badly initialised after a new member has been added to the
definition.
