you can define a struct like:

Code:

struct mystruct {
       item1: 1,
       item2: 2,
       item5: 5,
       item4: 4,
};

can't initialize it that way

You are wrong. I can init it this way using GCC. In fact, either way works on any of the GCC's that I have (I have 5).

Do you have your errors and warnings turned off?

Message 1 is absolutely not standard C .... in fact I'm surprised GCC will compile it, PellesC won't and it's pretty big on standards.

The build system for the kernel enables _ALL_ warnings and treats all warnings as errors (at least with 2.6.36.1 this is the case -- This is something that Linus has been pushing for for many years, though I don't know when he started the warnings as errors bit and why you can see many Linus melt downs on LKML if you search for "warning bomb")
