passing a union's field to a function

Hello!

The sample program below is compiled fine by gcc (with -Wall), but rejected
by Sun's SUNWspro compiler (version 6 update 2).

The point of contention is, whether a value for one of the union's types can
be passed to a function directly -- without creating a separate variable of
the union type and assigning the appropriate field of it.

Is gcc being too liberal, or is this behavior simply part of a newer
C-standard, which Sun's old compiler is not supporting? Thanks!

Is it not?
