I'm not sure that it is likely that the compiler will do anything other than ensure that all the fields are initialized. Among the files that I could compile, the only case with actual padding and no memset, memcpy, copy_from_user or structure assignment that I could find was drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_kms.c There is the code struct drm_amdgpu_info_device dev_info = {}; but I couldn't see any thing in the assembly language that seemed to zero the structure. gcc probably thought its job was done because all fields are subsequently initialized. But the size of the structure does not seem to be the same as the sum of the size of the fields. The set of fields was collected with Coccinelle, which could be unreliable for this task. julia > > If the structure is not going to be copied to userspace (or otherwise > exposed), using the initializer is fully sufficient and looks cleaner. > > Michal Kubecek > _______________________________________________ > Cocci mailing list > Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr > https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci >
