Subject: gh-142779: Initialize reserved field for proper padding (#142780)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=77bf4ba732a8736910bd6b7ec5a58b8ee833c95f;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

gh-142779: Initialize reserved field for proper padding (#142780)

The jitdump specification specifies a reserved field for padding.

Initialize it so no garbage data is embedded in the jitdump files.
