syntax error in source3/locking/brlock.c

[Thomas Schulz]

I have been building 4.2.0 on Solaris 10 using the GNU C compiler. I decided
to see what happens with Sun's C 5.11 SunOS_i386 compiler. It complains
with the following error:

"../source3/locking/brlock.c", line 2008: syntax error before or at: }
cc: acomp failed for ../source3/locking/brlock.c

The offending line is:

        *br_lck = (struct byte_range_lock) {};

The GNU C compiler thinks that this line is OK. Does anyone have an
idea what is intended here and why the Sun compiler does not like it?
