From 0aa5e49c6845ecd82531341085f367767c9f419a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 09:49:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] compiler: Add __designated_init annotation This allows structure annotations for requiring designated initialization in GCC 5.1.0 and later: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Designated-Inits.html The structure randomization layout plugin will be using this to help identify structures that need this form of initialization.
