[opensuse-programming] gcc/g++ difference in handling a GNU extension

2 Jun 2010

      I have a question about a difference between gcc and g++ in the
following:

typedef struct {

	const char	*CMD_SERVICE,
			*CMD_TRANSPORT;

} dPavueCnfg;

dPavueCnfg dConfig = {

	.CMD_SERVICE	= "DPcmd",
	.CMD_TRANSPORT	= "tcp"
};

This works with gcc (on Linux and MinGW). But it does not work in g++.
So, is this a GNU C-only extension? Given that it is a GNU extension, it
could have been done for both gcc and g++. I am not even sure what this
feature is called to be able to search for it! Perhaps this support is
defined at compiler build time?
