[vlc-devel] [PATCH] win32: build.sh: trigger build errors on dubious pointer use

[Steve Lhomme]

And on missing field initializers in structures.

Mismatching pointers are usually a result of using the incorrect pointer and
might trigger crashes.

Missing initializers are useful for structures of callbacks, to make sure a new
callback is not missing by accident. It's always possible to put NULL, on
purpose, knowingly.

Both flags produce no error on win32/win64 with clang or gcc.
