With the registry rewrite series, on Fedora 34, I started seeing this
error in xcoffread.c:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/xcoffread.c: In function ‘void read_xcoff_symtab(objfile*, legacy_psymtab*)’:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/xcoffread.c:948:25: error: ‘main_aux’ is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
948 | union internal_auxent fcn_aux_saved = main_aux;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/xcoffread.c:933:25: note: ‘main_aux’ declared here
933 | union internal_auxent main_aux;
| ^~~~~~~~
I don't know why this error started suddenly... that seems weird,
because it's not obviously related to the changes I made.
Looking into it, it seems this line was intended to avoid a similar
warning -- but since 'main_aux' is uninitialized at the point where it
is used, this fix was incomplete.
This patch avoids the warning by initializing using "{}". I'm
checking this in.
struct xcoff_symbol fcn_stab_saved = { 0 };
/* fcn_cs_saved is global because process_xcoff_symbol needs it. */
- union internal_auxent fcn_aux_saved = main_aux;
+ union internal_auxent fcn_aux_saved {};
struct context_stack *newobj;
const char *filestring = pst->filename; /* Name of the current file. */
