Xcode project demonstrating problem

I have two structs, both packed and 12 bytes long. One struct uses bitfield and
the other does not. If I take a pointer to the first struct, and then pass it
to a function that in turn casts it to a pointer to the second struct and
initializes the values, the static analyzer reports the values are
uninitialized.

The attached Xcode project demonstrates the problem.

I was able to workaround the problem by creating a union that contains the two
structs and passing that around instead.</pre>
