Subject: [RFA] Improve initialization of objects when the initializer has trailing zeros.
X-Git-Tag: basepoints/gcc-14~5621
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=46dc26fdfbf3e64f82188e21aa6a13ec23108e8e;p=thirdparty%2Fgcc.git

[RFA] Improve initialization of objects when the initializer has trailing zeros.

gcc/

	* expr.cc (store_expr): Identify trailing NULs in a STRING_CST
	initializer and use clear_storage rather than copying the
	NULs to the destination array.
