Jacob,

I sent this once, not sure if it went through?

I'm getting the error " initializer must be constant" from code such as:

void foo(int x, int y, int w, int h)
{
RECT rc = { x,y,w,h };
}

This should work for auto variables, correct?

Thanks,
Mike H.

No.  The initializers must be constants.  Not 'const's.

You might try asking in comp.lang.c.

We must do something.  This is something.  Therefore, we must do this.

Nope, not in C89. In both C99 and C++ that would be correct.

I thought Lcc-Win32 was being updated to support C99, maybe not 
implemented yet?, or a switch I'm missing?

Oh, if that wasn't accepted by your LCC-Win32 in C99-compatibility mode, 
it's certainly a defect then.
