[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Add braces to initialize task_info subojects

[Nathan Chancellor]

Clang warns if there are missing braces around a subobject
initializer.

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for this patch.  I discussed this syntax with our language
lawyers.  Turns out, this is not quite correct, as you're now saying
"initialize the first subobject to zero, but not the rest of the
object."  -Wmissing-field-initializers would highlight this, but it's
not part of -Wall.  It would be more correct to zero initialize the
full struct, including all of its subobjects with `= {};`.

Good point, I was debating on which one was correct. There are several
places in this driver that use the multiple brace + 0 idiom, which is
why I used this form. I will spin up a v2 with your suggestion, thank
you for the review!

Feel free to fix up the others as well. The others were only changed
due to the same warning you sent the patch for.

Interesting...

nathan@flashbox ~/kernels/next (master >) $ clang --version | head -n1
clang version 6.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_601/final)

I guess the v2 I sent is unnecessary then. I'll leave it up to the
maintainers to decide which one they want to take.

Thanks!

In C++, it's idiomatic to write `= {}` to perform aggregate zero-initialization, but in C, that's invalid because at least one initializer is syntactically required within the braces. As a result, `= {0}` is an idiomatic way to perform zero-initialization of an aggregate in C.

That doesn't seem to be the case:
https://godbolt.org/z/TZzfo6 shouldn't Clang warn in the case of bar()?

> Clang intends to suppress the -Wmissing-braces in that case; if the warning is still being produced in a recent version of Clang, that's a bug. However, the warning suppression was added between Clang 5 and Clang 6, so it's very plausible that the compiler being used here is simply older than the warning fix.

The warning was identified from clang-8 ToT synced yesterday.
