1) This is a vendor extension.
2) That vendor isn't FSF or Cygnus.
3) It's "foo_t bar.p", not "foo_t.p bar".
4) It still breaks for:
typedef enum { UT_INT, UT_CHAR, UT_PTR } ut_t;
typedef struct {
ut_t u_type;
struct foo_t u; /* someone blew a typedef*/
} bob_t;
bob_t bobs.p[] = {
{ UT_PTR, &anyvar },
{ UT_INT, 35 }, /* oops!*/
{ UT_PTR, NULL }
};
