Constructor expressions are a GNU extension.  They don't exist in ANSI
C.  (And they are not limited to constants.)

If you want information about whether something is a GNU extension,
the place to look is in the GCC manual.  It has a chapter describing
all the GNU extensions.  You can find the manual in *.texi and also in
gcc.info*.

By the way, lots of people have been reporting bugs, which is very
helpful.  But some have not given all the information necessary to
investigate a bug reliably.  To make sure your bug reports enable us
to fix bugs, please read the chapter in the GCC manual on bugs, if you
haven't done so recently.
