First of all there is no valid syntax like that with "a:". It may be some 
compiler extension. The valid C99 syntax to initialize struct/union members 
being named is using ".a" instead in his code example. Also, because this is 
C99 it's not C++03.  Maybe C++0x will have it tho I fail to find that 
information in the WG21 papers.
