Did you notice that gcc as far back as 3.4.6 will whinge *anyhow*
if you have too many initializers?

% cat > test9.c
int foo[5] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
^D
% gcc -c test9.c
test9.c:1:1: warning: excess elements in array initializer [enabled by default]
test9.c:1:1: warning: (near initialization for 'foo') [enabled by default]
