odd problem with static initializers

[Ric Has]

I have the following code which won't compile:

typedef myType1 {
unsigned short v1,
unsigned char v2,
unsigned char v3
}

enum signals {
SIG_A,
SIG_B,
SIG_C
};

static const myType myEvents[] = {
{SIG_A, 0, 0},
{SIG_B, 0, 0},
{SIG_C, 0, 0}
};

The compiler error is
error: a brace-enclosed initializer is not allowed here before '{' token

This compiled fine with an old version of gcc, I think 2.96. This error
came from a more recent
vintage, 3.3.1.

Can anyone tell me why this isn't compiling? Thanks.

I have the following code which won't compile:

typedef myType1 {
unsigned short v1,
unsigned char v2,
unsigned char v3
}

What's this? Perhaps you meant

struct myType1 {
unsigned short v1;
unsigned char v2;
unsigned char v3;
};


or even this unusual:


typedef struct myType1 {
unsigned short v1;
unsigned char v2;
unsigned char v3;
};

enum signals {
SIG_A,
SIG_B,
SIG_C
};

static const myType myEvents[] = {

static const myType1 myEvents[] = {

Correction:

or even this unusual:

typedef struct {
unsigned short v1;
unsigned char v2;
unsigned char v3;
}myType1;

Yes, I meant struct, not typedef. I have the same error when I do typedef
struct myType1...

typedef myType1 {

unsigned char v2;
unsigned char v3;

static const myType1 myEvents[] = {

{SIG_A, 0, 0},
{SIG_B, 0, 0},
{SIG_C, 0, 0}
};
