Description Richard Henderson 2004-09-09 01:18:17 UTC 
E.g.

# define PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP \
  { .__data = { .__kind = PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP } }

This definition isn't valid C++, nor can it be parsed by any version
of GNU C++ even as an extension.

This is a functionality regression from linuxthreads, which did not
use designated initializers.

I've some good suggestions what to do with those C++ "designers".

I changed the header, reluctantly.
