Re: partially initialized structures in C (3)

Hello Dave, thank you for your answers. Yes, the reason for "my" confusion was twofold: first, the documentation of IBM, which states that the remaining components of partially initialized automatic structures are not initialized, which is not conforming to the ANSI standard and is not what t

Hi Again Bernd, That psuedo-assembler appears to be initializing a 5-bytes of storage. Are you sure the 'scp1215ein' data type is 24 bytes? Can you show the typedef for 'scp1215ein'? Does there happen to be any packing going on? Bitfields, etc... - Dave Rivers - Bernd Oppolzer w

Hi Bernd We had several PMR's about the C++ compiler and the compiler team reacted always very fast and competently (maybe as they are in Canada ;-) ) On 5/19/2010 9:21 AM, Bernd Oppolzer wrote: Hello David, which version of the compiler did generate the MVC instructions? was this with o

Bernd, I'm using z/OS V1.10 without INITAUTO. We've compiled our code all the way back to OS/390 2.8 and I can't recall ever seeing this problem. I'm sure it's a codegen bug, otherwise what is the point of the MVI? I wouldn't accept anything other than a fix from IBM. Although your compiler

To David: no, there is no MVC. This is the z/OS V1.6 C-Compiler. I will try and examine the newer versions. Maybe the error is only in this version. But the description in the language reference also tells that the remaining components remain uninitialized, which is very strange. We, too, do thi

Are you sure there isn't an MVC after the MVI? I rely on that kind of initialization all the time and have never had a problem. A quick test program shows the correct behavior. If this is not working as the ANSI standard I suggest you open a PMR. To circumvent the problem compile with INITAUTO(
