Subject: [RFA] Clear entire "location" in value constructor
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 17:37:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180410173704.21702-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
My recent change to allocate values with "new" may have introduced a
small bug. In particular, the previous code allocated with XCNEW, but
the new code only clears a part of the "location" field in the
constructor. I didn't try very hard to actually trigger a bug here,
the problem remains theoretical.
This patch changes the constructor to clear the entire "location".
Regression tested by the buildbot.

* value.c (value::value): Clear "location".
