See the documentation for -Wmissing-field-initializers. It doesn't warn about members being uninitialized, it warns about them not being explicitly initialized, which is the case here. The manual does say it doesn't warn about designated initializers, but it s= eems the anonymous union is confusing it. > If so, could we make the message clearer, adding: "the following designat= ed > fields X,Y,Z will be default initialized. P,Q,R are left uninitialized." How would P,Q,R be left uninitialized? > That way, it is much more useful as a warning, instead of making the dev > fear of undefined behavior, when there is not. It doesn't say anything about undefined behaviour.=
