Hi Peilin,

Thank you for the patch.

What makes you think this will fix the issue ? When initializing a
structure at declaration time, the fields that are not explicitly
specified should be initialized to 0 by the compiler. See
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.cbclx01/strin.htm:

If a structure variable is partially initialized, all the uninitialized
structure members are implicitly initialized to zero no matter what the
storage class of the structure variable is. See the following example:

struct one {
    int a;
    int b;
    int c;
};

void main() {
    struct one z1;         // Members in z1 do not have default initial values.
    static struct one z2;  // z2.a=0, z2.b=0, and z2.c=0.
    struct one z3 = {1};   // z3.a=1, z3.b=0, and z3.c=0.
}
