Hi,

I am seeking to do the following:

struct something {

  char *n1;
  char *n2;
  char *list[];
};

struct something st[] = {
  { "a1", "a2", {"a3", "a4", "a5", NULL}};

with lots of initializers like the above, where the list element can have
any number of things in it.

However, gcc won't let me do it.  Since I want to initialize lots of
structure like that, is there any way I can do it?


Regards
