The algorithm for C initialization as described in the standard
and implemented in gcc allow this.

Basically, when a designed initializer is found the "cursor" goes
to that member and the following members are initialized in
order.

Have you checked to C standard to see what it says about that?

I'm not only interested in this part, but since it raised some doubts, I decided to do some checks
#include <stdio.h>
struct X {
     int i;
};
int f() {
     printf("f");
     return 1;
}
int main() {
     struct X x = {.i = f(), .i = f() };
}

There is a warning in this sample and f is called just once.
