Hi,
sorry for the delay.

I tried to find a solution to this. It seems that the above initializer is
only valid in C. In C++ a struct is treated as a class and has therefore
to be initialized like a class (that's what I am guessing).
A temporary workaround would be to replace the above line with an explicit
assignment of the structs members:

dice_CORBA_exception_type _exc_tmp;
_exc_tmp._s.major = _dice_corba_env->major;
_exc_tmp._s.repos_id = _dice_corba_env->repos_id;
l4_umword_t _exception = _exc_tmp._raw;

Sorry, but currently that's the only solution I can come up with. Maybe a
C++ guru can jump in?

Greetings, Ron.
