This is bug 19444, so [BZ #19444] in ChangeLog entries for it.  (If your 
patch only fixes some of the issues building with -O, your commit message 
needs to make it clear, so that it's obvious whether the bug should be 
resolved as FIXED with target milestone set to the first mainline release 
with the fix immediately after commit.  But the bug number should be given 
even for changes only fixing part of a bug - they just need to make clear 
whether they are complete or partial fixes.)

We don't use // comments in glibc code.  We also don't add initializers / 
assignments that might generate code just to silence warnings; if the code 
cannot be written in a way that makes it clear to the compiler what is / 
is not uninitialized, without resulting in extra generated code, we use 
the DIAG_* macros from libc-diag.h, with appropriate comments in every 
case explaining why in fact the warning is a false positive, to silence 
the warnings locally.

Unfortunately <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Style_and_Conventions> 
doesn't mention either of these conventions, so there is clearly scope for 
us to improve our documentation on contributing to glibc.
