Hello,
Is it not legal in C90 to initialize a multi-dimensional array with a
one-dimensional initializer as done below?
int a[2][2][2] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };
My compiler complains:
example.c:1: warning: missing braces around initializer
example.c:1: warning: (near initialization for `a[0]')
On a somewhat related note, are compilers free to emit warnings, even
if the program is correct?

I'd just write that as
int a[2][2][2] =
{
{
{1, 2},
{3, 4},
},
{
{5, 6},
{7, 8}
}
};
As such a[0][0] points to {1, 2} and a[1][1] points to {7, 8}.
On a somewhat related note, are compilers free to emit warnings, even if the program is correct?
As I understand it the compiler is free to emit any warnings it wants. Just
useless warnings will deter users which is a bad thing.

int a[2][2][2] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };
When initialising multidimensional arrays, you need braces round each
level of initialisers.
int a[2][2][2] = { {{1, 2}, {3, 4}},{{ 5, 6}, {7, 8}} };

No, you don't NEED them. They are recommended as good programming
practice, but the OP's code is perfectly legal in all versions of C
from K&R through C99. int a[2][2][2] = { {{1, 2}, {3, 4}},{{ 5, 6}, {7, 8}} };

It is perfectly legal in all versions of C to do this.

Did it produce a correct executable? If it did, it is conforming.

Nudge
So long as they emit at least one diagnostic if a translation unit
contains one or more constraint violations or syntax errors, they are
allowed to do pretty much anything. As far as the standard is
concerned, there is no such thing as a "warning" or "error" message,
that is a particular compiler's distinction.
A compiler which output this to the stdout stream for every
compilation:
"Translation unit might contain an error"
....would be perfectly conforming to the letter of the standard as far
as I can tell, whether the translation unit had any errors or not.
If it always added a second message:
"And you're ugly"
....it would only be a QOI (Quality Of Implementation) issue, not a
standard one.
