Weird compiler warning

Original Post

This code:

RECT Grid[] =
{
  2, 3, 3, 5,
  3, 2, 4, 7
};

Makes the compiler spit out a warning: "Missinge braces around initializer". o.O HUH? The warning only shows up if I turn on "All warnings" setting for compiler (GCC) If I turn off "All warnings" then the warning goes away... also if I get rid of the second line then the warning goes away too. But still, what the heck does it mean "missing braces"?

You're initializing an array of RECTs. The compiler expects: RECT rects[] = { RECT1, RECT2, RECT3, ... }; where each of RECT1, RECT2, et cetera looks like { left, top, bottom, right } (or whatever is appropriate for RECT). In other words:

RECT Grid[] ={  { 2, 3, 3, 5 },  { 3, 2, 4, 7 }};

=D lol that makes sense. And it looks better when it's declared that way. Thanks :)
