Libvirt has hit a problem with -Wjump-misses-init newly reporting bogus warnings for code using anonymous struct initializers during assignments: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89061 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1669489 It is quite an ununfortunate bug as it is not straightforward to workaround the bogus warning by changing code, while we also don't want to disable -Wjump-misses-init since it is a useful/important warning in general. So we'd really like to see the regression fixed before F30 GA.
