Subject: [9fans] initialization of anonymous structs.
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 58acc698-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Say I have a couple of structs like:

typedef struct A A;
typedef struct B B;

struct A
{
      int a1;
      int a2;
};

struct B
{
     A;
     int b1;
     int b2;
};

Now I want to declare a variable of kind B with parts initialized. Is
there anyway to initialize the A inside the B?. I have tried:

B bvar = {
    .a1 2
    .b1 2
};


B bvar = {
    .a1=2
    .b1=2
};

B bvar = {
    .A { .a1=2}
    .b1 2
};

B bvar = {
    .A={ .a1 2}
    .b1 2
};

B bvar = {
    .A={2}
    .b1 2
};

I always get the error that the field does not exist.

I have looked at the code of the compiler
and run it with -di and have not been able to figure out a way to initialize
the anonymous struct.

Am I missing something?. Is there a way to do this?.
