That seems too tedious. I'm learning towards just initializing
var = NULL in the start of the for-loop:
@@ -449,7 +449,8 @@ static inline struct hashmap_entry
*hashmap_iter_first(struct hashmap *map,
* containing a @member which is a "struct hashmap_entry"
*/
#define hashmap_for_each_entry(map, iter, var, member) \
- for (var = hashmap_iter_first_entry_offset(map, iter, \
+ for (var = NULL /* squelch uninitialized warnings for OFFSETOF_VAR */, \
+ var = hashmap_iter_first_entry_offset(map, iter, \
OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member)); \
var; \
var = hashmap_iter_next_entry_offset(iter, \
(But I'm running on fumes all week, so not sure I trust it)
