Having cried bug at least once too often in my life, I'll put
this in the form of a question.
According to K&R 1st ed. page 198 it says:
When an initializer applies to a scalar (a pointer or object
of arithmetic type), it consists of a single expression,
perhaps in braces.
and K&R 2nd ed. page 219 says:
The initializer for a pointer or an object of arithmetic type
is a single expression, perhaps in braces.
yet the following short program produces an error message and will
not compile under THINK C 3.0:
int x = { 1 };
main()
{
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
The offending line is the first and the error message is "too many
initializers." Is there any reason why this isn't a bug?
