[ILUG] C initialistaion question.

[Conor Daly]

Given:

int   a, b, c, d;
float g, h, i, j;

a=-999;
b=-999;
c=-999;
d=-999;

g=-999.9;
h=-999.9;
i=-999.9;
j=-999.9;


can I do something like

int   {a, b, c, d} =-999;
float {g, h, i, j} =-999.9;

I kinda thought I'd seen something like this somewhere but I don't have the
book with me just now.

Thinking in ansi c of course, portability is a priority (not because this'll
be running on lots of different machines (it won't) but because we don't
want to have to go through a bazillion proggies that someone else wrote 15
years ago fixing stuff when we upgrade to a new box / OS (Of course, at that
stage, we'll probably need to rewrite the embedded SQL anyhow!))

BTW, anyone know how near Ingres are to a linux sql client or preprocessor?
