Subject: [OB PATCH] Fix uninitialized type_flags variable
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 14:37:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52D7EECF.5020904@ericsson.com> (raw)

If uninitialized, type_flags can contain a random value. If the
arch-specific code doesn't set a value, this give unexpected results.

I believe this is an obvious change. Since I don't have commit access yet,
could anybody push this?

	* gdbtypes.c (address_space_name_to_int): Initialize type_flags to 0.
