That is another thing that I would like to see in standard C -- initialization
of unions. You can't do it now, presumably because there are problems with
deciding which element you want to assign it to (although I can't really
see where the problems would come in...). If you write something like
union foo {
int a;
char *b;
long c;
} bar[] = {
{ 57 } ,
{ (long) 76365 } ,
{ "Hey, here we are" }
} ;
to initialize several unions, the compiler shouldn't have any trouble sseing
what you mean, right?
