Could you point me to the C99 specification that documents that if you
have it at hand?  Even if not strictly necessary, it seems like good
code higiene as its effect is hidden.

FWIW, it broke a change I was doing on top of this where I removed the
" .path " initializer to set it later and was suddenly getting random
unrelated errors because this field was not initialized.
