IBM XL C/C++ error with client/smbspool.c

[yaberger at ca.ibm.com]

Hi Volker

Well here is what work and what doesn't work using the testcase for have 
immmediate structure.
My suggested patch is also at the end of the mail. I've tested it AIX with 
XL C/C++ and on ubuntu 8.04 with gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)


==> cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct {unsigned x;} FOOBAR;
#define X_FOOBAR(x) ((FOOBAR) { x })
#define FOO_ONE X_FOOBAR(1)

int main()
{
        FOOBAR f = FOO_ONE;
        static const struct {
                FOOBAR y;
        } f2[] = {
                {FOO_ONE}
        };
        /*static const FOOBAR f3[] = {FOO_ONE};*/

        return 0;
}

==> cc /tmp/test.c
==> cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct {unsigned x;} FOOBAR;
#define X_FOOBAR(x) ((FOOBAR) { x })
#define FOO_ONE X_FOOBAR(1)

int main()
{
        FOOBAR f = FOO_ONE;
        static const struct {
                FOOBAR y;
        } f2[] = {
                {FOO_ONE}
        };
        static const FOOBAR f3[] = {FOO_ONE};

        return 0;
}

==> cc /tmp/test.c
"/tmp/test.c", line 15.37: 1506-221 (S) Initializer must be a valid 
constant expression.

The weird thing is: Why does your compiler accept the
configure test for HAVE_IMMEDIATE_STRUCTURES?
