--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler at gmail dot com> ---
The problem was first noted and discussed in a question on Stack Overflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49081541/
There are some comments there that may help with the diagnosis. The problem
occurs with GCC 7.3.0 compiled on a Mac too. A major component of the bug is
the inconsistency; it requires a compound array literal as an initializer, and
it does not report for all fields that are not specifically initialized.
There are two ways the bug fix could go.
(1) It reports on each uninitialized member, not just the one after the member
initialized with compound array literal.
(2) It doesn't report on any uninitialized member because they're all
zero-initialized when a designated initializer is used.
Of the two, fix version (2) is what I'd prefer to see. Note that Clang does
not report an error for this, which is in line with fix version (2).
The compound literal must be an array for the problem to reproduce. Using
struct T t = {.b = &t.a};
in the initialization doesn't trigger any warning, for example.
The warning appears for the first field after the last member initialized with
a compound array literal.
Consider this code (file diw83.c):
struct T
{
int a;
int *b;
int c;
int d;
int *e;
int f;
int g;
int h;
};
struct T foo(int bar);
struct T foo(int bar)
{
struct T t = { .b = (int[]){ 1 }, .e = (int[]){ 2 } };
t.c = bar;
return t;
}

Apart from five #line directives at the start, the preprocessed file (diw83.i)
is the same as the input file.
