I see the following warning when building GDB on FreeBSD/amd64 with
Clang 14,
======================================================================
CXX mdebugread.o
mdebugread.c:1069:3: error: variable 'f' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
f->set_loc_enumval (tsym.value);
^
mdebugread.c:836:17: note: initialize the variable 'f' to silence this warning
struct field *f;
^
= nullptr
======================================================================
after digging a little, I realized that we can not simply do what
Clang 14 says.
The root cause of this issue is that we lost the initialization of
the variable 'f' in this commit,

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that the variable 'f' is used in the second half of
parse_symbol, that's why Clang complained.
To fix this issue we need to ensure that the varibale 'f' is
initialized. Calling the fields method is an obvious way to fix this
issue.
Tested on FreeBSD/amd64 by rebuilding.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
