I have no idea why it would fail here.
I see it is also in version 11 - so, maybe still syntax:
This is the doc:
The following example passes a constant structure variable of type point containing two integer members to the function drawline:
drawline((struct point){6,7});
While the code is: .challenges = (struct http_auth_challenge_test []) { { .scheme = "Basic", .data = NULL, .params = (struct http_auth_param []) { { "realm", "WallyWorld" }, { NULL, NULL } } },{ .scheme = NULL }
The difference I notice is that, much prettier btw, you are also specifying the struct .names, and perhaps, in Compound literal syntax

"initializer_list" is exclusive of (additional) declarers.
The messages seem to indicate the parser does not like them being there... "test-http-auth.c", line 27.27: 1506-022 (S) "scheme" is not a member of "const struct http_auth_challenges_test".

To understand|study it, I simplified it to:
+7 #include "http-auth.h" +8 +9 struct http_auth_challenge_test { +10 const char *scheme; +11 const char *data; +12 struct http_auth_param *params; +13 }; +14 +15 struct http_auth_challenges_test { +16 const char *challenges_in; +17 struct http_auth_challenge_test *challenges; +18 }; +19 +20 /* Valid auth challenges tests */ +21 static struct http_auth_challenges_test +22 valid_auth_challenges_tests[] = { +23 { "Basic realm=\"WallyWorld\"", +24 "Basic", +25 NULL, +26 "realm", "WallyWorld", +27 NULL, NULL +28 },{ +29 NULL, +30 NULL, +31 NULL, NULL +32 } +33 };
(lots of experimenting!) I got it down to these messages: "test-http-auth.c", line 24.25: 1506-196 (W) Initialization between types "struct http_auth_challenge_test*" and "char*" is not allowed.

As 'it' kept complaining about the unnecessary opening { I am thinking that their design does not leave space fot nesting arrarys of initialization. And I would tend to agree with there being 'lazy'. That does not fix my problem. Going to look for a - maybe less elegant - but workable (and if found I hope acceptable) work-around.
