posix/regcomp: initialize union structure tag to avoid warning
We see some surprising warnings on tilegx with gcc 4.8.2: In file included from regex.c:66:0: regcomp.c: In function ‘parse_expression’: regcomp.c:2849:15: error: ‘end_elem’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] else if (br_elem->type == COLL_SYM) ^ regcomp.c:3109:34: note: ‘end_elem’ was declared here bracket_elem_t start_elem, end_elem; ^ regcomp.c:3109:22: error: ‘start_elem’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] bracket_elem_t start_elem, end_elem; ^ These warnings are not seen on x86, and in fact if I compile the preprocessed tile sources with the x86 gcc 4.8.2, I don't see the warnings. I do see eqiuvalent warnings if I compile the x86-preprocessed source code with tilegx gcc 4.8.2. The fix here is to initialize the union type field appropriately in a couple of places where we pass a union pointer to a subroutine that "knows" what type the union is. Setting the type explicitly seems like a more robust way to manage such a data structure in any case.
