[vlc-devel] [PATCH 3/3] configure: add -Werror=missing-field-initializers option to the compiler

[Steve Lhomme]

This avoids leaving some fields initialized in structures that require
initialization (like in the video context operations). It's always better to
set NULL (with a TODO/FIXME is needed) explicitly than forget it.

Compound literal designated initializers are not affected.

This is tested on Linux and Windows builds successfully.
