Re: Missing elements in VECTOR_CST

I think we "read past each other".  I was just countering what
(I read as) your statement that for C semantics, only omitted
subobjects in initialiers of objects with *static storage* are
zero-initialized; i.e. that others are ok to be left undefined
by an implementation.

Right, I think we were at cross-purposes; to be clear, I wasn't commenting at all about C semantics, but rather about what I think the internal GCC IR semantics should be.

Thanks,
