[vlc-devel] [PATCH v2] package/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.

I have been compiling with these flags for weeks without issues. It helped find
some issue (48442d3536edae578f1a384e73346d1e2a4c0061) that were pushed
unnoticed without these checks.
