my reading of the 5/88 standard and K&R2 says
that the following initializations are legal
(ie, the {} are optional) but gcc complains.
[703] cat bug4.c
union { int x; char *y; } a = 5;
struct { int x; char *y; } b = 6;
[704] gcc -S -v bug4.c
gcc version 1.28
/usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp -v -undef -D__GNU__ -D__GNUC__ -Dvax -Dunix bug4.c /tmp/cc028798.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.28
/usr/local/lib/gcc-cc1 /tmp/cc028798.cpp -quiet -dumpbase bug4.c -version -o bug4.s
GNU C version 1.28 (vax) compiled by GNU C version 1.28.
bug4.c:1: type mismatch in initialization
bug4.c:2: invalid initializer
