There is a warning, but I guess that's just gcc being paranoid:
test_guarded_buf.c:93:1: warning: missing initializer for field ?caps? of ?struct tst_test? [-Wmissing-field-initializers]
   93 | };
      | ^
In file included from test_guarded_buf.c:12:
../../include/tst_test.h:214:18: note: ?caps? declared here
  214 |  struct tst_cap *caps;
      |                  ^~~~


Kind regards,
