Syntax error reported for designated structure initializers when returning an anonymous structure [message #1767046]

Eclipse marks the following line as syntax error:

const struct BufferPtr GetBufferPtr() const { return { .ptr = nullptr, .size = 0 }; }

I understand that the support for this construct may be compiler-flavor-dependent, esp. for C++. But is there any way to make Eclipse accept the above as correct t? I'm using Neon.3.

Thank you very much!

The named component initialization is a GNU extension, described in section 6.27 Designated Initializers in the GNU C manual.

Great info; thanks! But how can I make Eclipse understand this syntax?
