Regarding this great feature of C99, sadly, it's not C++ compatible. So
while designated initializers in a C source file are great, in a header
file they will give a compile error if included in e.g. a C++ kernel
module (which otherwise would work fine).
Actually, as a further digression, I was wondering if/when FreeBSD would
add
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
to sys/sys/*.h and other headers that can be included by a kernel
module.
Thanks,
