Array initialization

[aj]

Code Select Expand

char *txt[1] = {
[0] "asdf",
};

This works in Pelles C - should it?

I would say YES! 

You define an array of strings with one member and this member points to "asdf".

it souldn't.
at least, = operator is missing :

Code Select Expand

char *txt[1] = {
[0] = "asdf",
};
but better is

Code Select Expand

char const *txt[] = {
[0] = "asdf",
};

Let's look the standard:

6.7.8 Initialization
Syntax
1    initializer:
          assignment-expression
          { initializer-list }
          { initializer-list ,}
     initializer-list:
          designationopt initializer
          initializer-list , designationopt initializer
     designation:
          designator-list =
     designator-list:
          designator
          designator-list designator
     designator:
          [ constant-expression ]
          . identifier

Right now the compiler will no insist on the missing '=' (IIRC for compatibility reasons), but a warning should be issued (in standard mode at least).
