Subject: RE: [PATCH] ACPICA: use designated initializers

Acpica is built with many compilers, even very old ones. It runs on at least 12 known operating systems, and very probably more.

I'm sorry, but no, we are not going to start adding compiler-specific ifdefs/code in the base ACPICA code.

I don't care what you do in the Linux-specific or gcc-specific headers, however. If this breaks a customer build, we (you) will hear about it rather quickly.
