I wish ISO C had gone the same place gcc (and C++ ?) went, and allowed the initializer {}, which would eliminate any chance of it misleading a casual reader. If that were the case, I would be +1 on just using the {} syntax. But given that the standard is stuck on requiring a first element, I am +1 on using the macro, just to avoid giving any wrong impressions, even fleeting ones. Regards, -Chap
