Don't use class-initialization for the owner union
As reported by PhilippeW, valgrind reports that symtab is uninitialized when compiling with GCC 4.8.5, which is the default compiler on CentOS 7. This is apparently a compiler bug fixed in later versions, but to keep CentOS 7 working, this patch initializes the union explicitly instead of using a class initializer. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-11-18 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com> * symtab.h (struct symbol) <owner>: Initialize explicitly in the constructor instead of using a class initializer. Change-Id: I94f48afeae5d29cf81a280295e2d02e2d7e1c1f1
