CentOS 7 is no longer a supported build platform for libvirt
(nor QEMU either)
> GCC version: gcc (GCC) 7.5.0
That GCC is used in Ubuntu 18.04 and isn't issuing warnings
about this.
Finally -Wmissing-field-initializers is explicitly documented
as *not* issuing a warning for named fields
[quote "info gcc"]
'-Wmissing-field-initializers'
Warn if a structure's initializer has some fields missing. For
example, the following code causes such a warning, because 'x.h' is
implicitly zero:
struct s { int f, g, h; };
struct s x = { 3, 4 };
This option does not warn about designated initializers, so the
following modification does not trigger a warning:
struct s { int f, g, h; };
struct s x = { .f = 3, .g = 4 };
[/quote]
Given CentOS 7 is no longer a supported platform, we
can see GCC 7.5.0 works on other platforms, and the
-Wmissing-field-initializers warning isn';t supposed
to complain about this scenario, I don't want to take
this patch.
I'd also strongly encourage you to upgrade to a newer
development platform, given CentOS 7 is explicitly
not something the libvirt project wants to target
anymore.

Daniel
