__builtin_choose_expr internal error

[salas__daniel]

I have the following internal error when I try to use the C11 __builtin_choose_expr with a compound literal as follow: 

internal error: assertion failed at: "shared/cfe/edgcpfe/expr.c", line 259
  union utype {__typeof__(__builtin_choose_expr (0, (short) {0}, (double) {0})) u00_m;};

Another internal error arise when I use a block form :

internal error: bad pointer
  union utype {__typeof__(__builtin_choose_expr (0, ({short p00_val = {0}; p00_val;}),  ({double p00_val = {0}; p00_val;}))) u01_m;};

Do you have any work around to make this work ?

Thank you

This forum may not bring attention to the issue. If it is ignored on c++ forum you may need a full ips problem report. The construct appears to be needed for compatibility with gcc 4.7 and newer so ought to work with icc 7.0.1.

Thank you Tim for your answer. I've find a way to pass through the problem.
Here is the Jens Gustedt's method :

union utype {__typeof__(__builtin_choose_expr (0, *(short*)0, *(double*)0)) u00_m;};

With this casting form the compiler doesn't complain anymore !
