[Bug c/37724] New: "initialization from incompatible pointer type" does not say which field is being initialized


When I was upgrading the PS3 toolchain I found it would have been useful to
figure out which field of a struct was being initialized with this warning
turned on.
Take:
struct f
{
  int *a;
};

char b[10];
struct f g = {b};

--- CUT ---
Currently we just get:
t.c:7: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

But with a large macro like what is in GCC sources, it is hard to figure out
which field has the incompatible pointer type.
Likewise for the diffs in signedness warning.
