I wonder why we don't diagnose this at -O0. Note RTL expansion of .DEFERRED_INIT _does_ write to the bitfield padding so maybe we can avoid doing that in __builtin_clear_padding (with an extra op?). Confirmed. A workaround is to explicitely name the padding thus add int padding : 31, etc. Referenced Bugs: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24639 [Bug 24639] [meta-bug] bug to track all Wuninitialized issues
