I agree C standard allows this. It allows to even worse stuff.
I was just surprised that gcc does that.. and that I did not know
about this trap. I was probably telling people to do = {} for
structure init...
Should we get "= {}" warning for checkpatch?
Is it fair to replace "= {}" with memset() as soon as it is returned
to userland, without testing that gcc "miscompiles" this particular
example?
Best regards,
Pavel
