Compound literals in MSVC

In GCC, I'm able to do this:

(CachedPath){ino}
inode->data = (struct Data)DATA_INIT;

where:

struct CachedPath
{
    Ino ino;
};

typedef int8_t Depth;
struct Data
{
    Offset size;
    Blkno root;
    Depth depth;
};
#define DATA_INIT {0, -1, 0}

MSVC gives the following error for these kind of casts:

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'

How can I do this in MSVC? Further note that the code has been converted from C99, where I used designated initializers for this, and then cast it similarly. Any clarity on how these various features relate between C99, and MSVC/GCC implementations of C++ is appreciated.
