Structure Initialization in GCC and VC

---------------------------------

structure initialization
---------------------------------

typedef struct __t_obj
{
    char a;
    int b;
    char* str;
}obj;

/*GCC allows the following initialization methods*/
obj temp1 = {'X', 123, "this is a string"}; 

//complete initialization
obj temp2 = {.a = 'X', .str = "this is a string"}; 

//partially initialization
obj temp3; temp3.a = 'X'; temp3.b = 123;


/*VC2010 allows the following initialization methods*/
obj temp1 = {'X', 123, "this is a string"}; 

//complete initialization
obj temp3; temp3.a = 'X'; temp3.b = 123;
