Summary:
Per https://wg21.link/CWG1677, the C++11 standard did not clarify that constant
initialization of an object allowed constexpr brace-or-equal initialization of
subobjects:
struct foo_t { union { int i; volatile int j; } u; };
__attribute__((__require_constant_initialization__))
static const foo_t x = {{0}};
Because foo_t::u has a volatile member, the initializer for x fails. However,
there is really no good reason, because this:
union foo_u { int i; volatile int j; };
__attribute__((__require_constant_initialization__))
static const foo_u x = {0};
does have a constant initializer.
(This was triggered by musl's pthread_mutex_t type when building under C++11.)
