cchar_t can contain not only attr and chars fields, but also ext_color.
Initialize the whole structure to zero instead of enumerating fields.

Spotted by Coverity: CID 1399711

Does this really need the cast ? {} is supposed to be a
universal initializer.

thanks

Yes, otherwise it is refused by the compiler.

When used as initialized (cchar_t foo = {}), yes.  But when used in
assignations, no, one has to cast it.

Ah -- I hadn't realized that wrinkle; thanks for the explanation.

Or is it worth using:

curses_line[x] = (cchar_t) {
  .chars[0] = ch,
};

so that all other fields not mentioned are zero-initialized, without
relying on the {} extension?

Right, it's no less readable :) I have sent an updated patch.
