[Bug objc/40864] Designated initializers for multi-dimensional arrays fail in Objective-C
--- Comment #2 from sergei dot yakovlev at gmail dot com 2009-12-29 22:22 --- @fxcoudert: This is not an enhancement, this is a bug. Objective-C is declared as a strict superset of C. Everything that works in C should work in Objective-C. In this case, it doesn't, which means it's a bug. -- sergei dot yakovlev at gmail dot com changed: What|Removed |Added Severity|enhancement |normal http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40864

I do not know if there exists a C99-based specification of ObjC that clarifies what is intended (and note that this interacts with the old GNU form of designated initializers as well); I took it as given by the implementation at that time. /* ??? Following the old parser, [ objc-receiver objc-message-args ] is accepted as an initializer, being distinguished from a designator by what follows the first assignment expression inside the square brackets, but after a first array designator a subsequent square bracket is for Objective-C taken to start an expression, using the obsolete form of designated initializer without '=', rather than possibly being a second level of designation: in LALR terms, the '[' is shifted rather than reducing designator to designator-list. */ -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40864
