Static Storage Not Initalized As Expected

Hi SourceBoost team,

 

To reproduce take the following example:

 

char a;

char b = 1;

char test1[1];

char test2[2];

char test3[2] = { 1 };

char test4[2] = { 2, 0 };

 

void main(void)

{}

 

 

With or without the -Su option boostc (tested with boostc 6.97 for a PIC12F615) generates

 

char a;

char b = 1;

01D5 3001 MOVLW 0x01

01D6 00D3 MOVWF gbl_b

 

char test1[1];

char test2[2];

char test3[2] = { 1 };

01D7 3001 MOVLW 0x01

01D8 00CB MOVWF gbl_test3

 

char test4[2] = { 2, 0 };

01D9 3002 MOVLW 0x02

01DA 00CD MOVWF gbl_test4

01DB 01CE CLRF gbl_test4+D'1'

 

According to Ansi (9899/1999 6.7.8) all unused elements should be set to 0, which I expected boostc to do if I left out the -Su flag.

 

I retested with extra code referencing the uninitalized vars in case the compiler optimized them away, but this did not make any difference.
