Hi.

Is the following code c++:

   typedef struct {
       int a;
       int const b;
   } C;

The Intel compiler gives the following warning message:
warning #411: class "C" defines no constructor to initialize the
following:

             const member "C::b"

But it is possible to initialize b with the old C-style:

C c = { 1, 2 };

Yes, this is well-formed C++.

Your example is reasonable but note that compilers are free to
diagnose anything - even well-formed and well-defined code.

Which is why it is a warning and not an error.
