Suppose I have a fully defined struct with tag MyStruct, and suppose that x, y, ..., z are allowed values for its fields. Why is
struct MyStruct q = {x,y,..,z};
allowed, but
struct MyStruct q;
q = {x,y,...,z};
is not allowed? I find this very annoying. In the second case, where I have previously declared q, I need to assign a value to each field, one by one:
q.X = x; q.Y = y; ... q.Z = z;
where X, Y, ..., Z are the fields of MyStruct. Is there a reason behind this?
