What's the function of this line? Are you programming defensively, just in case freebsd, netbsd, dragonfly, or illumos grow some padding fields too?

It's required once Rust starts targeting musl 1.2 as i686-unknown-linux-musl will have a padding field:

Oh, my bad. I saw that #[cfg()] block on line 100 and thought that it applied here.

No problem, thanks for the quick reviews! 🙂

In a future release of the `libc` crate, `libc::timespec` will contain private padding fields on `*-linux-musl` targets and so the struct will no longer be able to be created using the literal initialization syntax. Update places where `libc::timespec` is created to first zero initialize the value and then update the `tv_sec` and `tv_nsec` fields manually. Many of these places are in `const fn`s so a helper function `zero_init_timespec()` is introduced to help with this as `std::mem::MaybeUninit::zeroed()` is not a `const` function. Some matches on `libc::timespec` are also updated to include a trailing `..` pattern which works when `libc::timespec` has additional, private fields as well as when it does not (like for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`).

Sorry for the delay! I'll work on the backports tomorrow. |
