```C
typedef struct {
    struct {
        char data[24];
    };
    int length;
} ES;

ES empty = {{.data = {0}}, .length = 0};
```

```
Error: `[ constant-expression ]` expected for C array element initializer
`{.short_data={0}}`
```

```C
typedef struct {
    int k;
    struct {
        struct {
            struct {
                int s;
            } f;
        };

SH data = (SH) {
