FWIW, my gcc 8 snapshot reports:
scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.c:269:1: sorry,
unimplemented: non-trivial designated initializers not supported
};
^
But yeah, it seems that initializer _order_ matters here. Uuuugh.
I think instead of static initializers, we can just move this into the
register function, then order won't matter again. e.g.:
