: That syntax is wrong, I think.  You should have written

: 	mySem = (struct kSemaphore){count = 1};

: ':' indicates bitfields, not field names.  Check 

: 	info gcc "C Extensions" "labeled elements" 

Well, I find it in ``info gcc "c ext" designated'' and if I understood
that section it should be "mySem = (struct kSemaphore){.count = 1};"
and the syntax used by Martin Sylvain should also be supported but
obsolete. However it stills fails.


Right,
