--- Comment #6 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The trunk branch has been updated by Marek Polacek <mpola...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:4b7d9f8f51bd96d290aac230c71e501fcb6b21a6 commit r12-7772-g4b7d9f8f51bd96d290aac230c71e501fcb6b21a6 Author: Marek Polacek <pola...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Mar 22 14:37:02 2022 -0400 c: -Wmissing-field-initializers and designated inits [PR82283, PR84685] This patch fixes two kinds of wrong -Wmissing-field-initializers warnings. Our docs say that this warning "does not warn about designated initializers", but we give a warning for 1) the array case: struct S { struct N { int a; int b; } c[1]; } d = { .c[0].a = 1, .c[0].b = 1, // missing initializer for field 'b' of 'struct N' }; we warn because push_init_level, when constructing an array, clears constructor_designated (which the warning relies on), and we forget that we were in a designated initializer context. Fixed by the push_init_level hunk; and 2) the compound literal case: struct T { int a; int *b; int c; }; struct T t = { .b = (int[]){1} }; // missing initializer for field 'c' of 'struct T' where set_designator properly sets constructor_designated to 1, but the compound literal causes us to create a whole new initializer_stack in start_init, which clears constructor_designated. Then, after we've parsed the compound literal, finish_init flushes the initializer_stack entry, but doesn't restore constructor_designated, so we forget we were in a designated initializer context, which causes the bogus warning. (The designated flag is also tracked in constructor_stack, but in this case, we didn't perform push_init_level between set_designator and start_init so it wasn't saved anywhere.) PR c/82283 PR c/84685 gcc/c/ChangeLog: * c-typeck.cc (struct initializer_stack): Add 'designated' member. (start_init): Set it. (finish_init): Restore constructor_designated. (push_init_level): Set constructor_designated to the value of constructor_designated in the upper constructor_stack. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.dg/Wmissing-field-initializers-1.c: New test. * gcc.dg/Wmissing-field-initializers-2.c: New test. * gcc.dg/Wmissing-field-initializers-3.c: New test. * gcc.dg/Wmissing-field-initializers-4.c: New test. * gcc.dg/Wmissing-field-initializers-5.c: New test.
