        <pre>[The context for this was FreeBSD head -r312942
and so its clang 3.9.1 variant.]

clang 3.9.1 in FreeBSD allows the
following to compile without
complaint, even with -Wpedantic :
(Note the const between the * and the desc.)

struct mlx5_core_diagnostics_entry {
    const char           *const desc;
          unsigned short        counter_id;
} empty;

int main ()
{
    struct mlx5_core_diagnostics_entry test;
    test = empty;
}

gcc6, by contrast, rejects the assignment
as an error.</pre>
