------- Additional Comments From matz at suse dot de 2005-04-19 16:51 ------- I agree with most of what Jim said. Except for the part that we maybe don't have to fix the reload issue, when we fix usage of the uninitialized register for piecewise struct initialization. The latter will fix this particular instance of the problem, but reload still would be confused by uninitialized registers. I think they can happen also for other reasons, like the user having some uninitialized variables, which perhaps never are used at runtime, but still could result in reload miscompiling the program the same way as seen here. As reload bugs are particular hard to track down, I really think we should fix this one for good, that it doesn't come back biting us in the future. If agreed I will cleanup the patch to comment both locations (I don't think it would deserve an own subfunction).
