> This is a retry to add `-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern` to gcc debug builds. The first attempt was buggy in multiple ways and had to be backed out.
> 
> This is the description of the original bug report:
> 
> gcc12 has added -ftrivial-auto-var-init=<choice>, which specifies how automatic variables without an initializer should be initialized. The default choice is "uninitialized", which is the default C/C++ behavior. Alternatives are "pattern" and "zero". For improved debugging, helping to detect uninitialized uses, the "pattern" choice should be used.

Magnus Ihse Bursie has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains four commits:

 - Merge branch 'master' into auto-var-init-redo
 - Try filtering out -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern for libsleef. This patch is getting uglier by the minute...
 - Only add flag if it is supported
 - 8345627: [REDO] Use gcc12 -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern in debug builds
