Yeah, and exactly that's the problem. As the discussion showed "{ { 0 } }" is buggy because it tells the compiler to only initialize the first member of the structure, but not all of it. That is incorrect and rather dangerous cause it can lead to unforeseen results and should probably trigger a warning. > > $ git grep "{ *{ *0 *} *}" | wc > 144 1180 11802 > $ git grep "{ *{ *0 *} *}" drivers/gpu/drm/amd/ | wc > 50 459 5239 > >> We should either use only "{ }" or even better make nails with heads and >> use memset(). > > I'd rather leave it up to the compiler to decide what is most efficient.

One thing I found missing in the discussion was the reference to the C standard. The C99 standard states in section 6.7.8 (Initialization) clause 19: "... all subobjects that are not initialized explicitly shall be initialized implicitly the same as objects that have static storage duration". Clause 21 makes further reference to partial initialization, suggesting the same. Various online resources, including the gcc documentation, all state the same. I don't find any reference to a partial initialization which would leave members of a structure undefined. It would be interesting for me to understand how and why this does not apply here. In this context, it is interesting that the other 48 instances of the { { 0 } } initialization in the same driver don't raise similar concerns, nor seemed to have caused any operational problems. Anyway, I fixed up the code in our tree (with { }), so I'll leave it up to you folks to decide what if anything to do about it.

Yes, initializing structures with { } is known to be problematic as well.

That is a completely different issue. Correct, yes. But that is the reason why I recommend using memset() for zero initialization. See we don't know the inner layout of the structure, could be another structure or an union. If it's a structure everything is fine because if you initialize one structure member all other get their default type (whatever that means), but if it's an union..... Not sure if compilers still react allergic to that, but its the status I've learned the hard way when the C99 standard came out and it still seems like people are working around that so I recommend everybody to stick with memset().
