AI-generatedC99 Designated Initializers Misplace Struct Array Elements in EmbeddedC
Problem Statement EmbeddedC claims support for C99 designated initializers, yet older releases (e.g., 1.9.x) have been observed to generate object code that misplaces array elements inside structs. The compiler may accept the syntax and emit a warning, but the resulting memory layout diverges from the C99 standard, potentially corrupting runtime data. The go
