Bug reference: 19343

PostgreSQL version: 16.11
Operating system: RHEL7
Description:
When compiling the latest version, 16.11, I received the following error:
gcc -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror=vla -Wendif-labels
-Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv
-fexcess-precision=standard -O2 -I../../../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE
-c -o toast_internals.o toast_internals.c
toast_internals.c: In function ‘toast_save_datum’:
toast_internals.c:139:2: warning: missing braces around initializer
[-Wmissing-braces]
} chunk_data = {0}; /* silence compiler warning */
^
toast_internals.c:139:2: warning: (near initialization for ‘chunk_data.hdr’)
[-Wmissing-braces]
When I compared toast_internals.c files between 16.11 and 16.10, I found
this difference that is supposed to account for silencing the compiler
warning.
