+Subject: [PATCH] "fix" "jump-misses-init" gcc-8 warning
+
+Actually, that warning is overly conservative, and so we
+have changed the code in a somewhat suboptimal way to "fix"
+it. In this spots, it's not that bad and we wanted to avoid
+totally disabling this warning.
+
+If it were more costly in terms of cleanness, we would probaly
+have done that. Just mention it to tell anyone else the
+cure is not really a good one, just selected due to the
+circumstances in this special case.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
