What's wrong with my data structures?

I have data structures that bring up a lot of errors. Like the members of them cannot be initialized.

struct ScreenAttributes {
	const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 640;
	const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 480;
	const int SCREEN_BPP = 32;
} ScrAt;

// The surfaces that will be used
struct SCREENS {
	SDL_Surface* message = NULL;
	SDL_Surface* BG = NULL;
	SDL_Surface* screen = NULL;
} Screens;

This is C++11 code, as some compilers rightfully note when restricted to C++98:

Why don't you write a constructor?

If you are going to have a global object like that why not just use a namespace instead?

namespace ScreenAttributes {
	const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 640;
	const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 480;
	const int SCREEN_BPP = 32;
}

namespace Screens {
	SDL_Surface* message;
	SDL_Surface* BG;
	SDL_Surface* screen;
}


And acceess them as ScreenAttributes::SCREEN_WIDTH and Screens::message.

Peter87, I was just using data structures for practice... Didn't think this much trouble would come from them.
