To solve the false warning problem with unnamed bit-field, patch here is unnecessary.
However, I do not think `getBinding` returning `SymbolVal` is the correct result, which is the current behavior when parsing the source as c++. To my understanding, `SymbolVal` means it is initialized, but somehow the static analyzer cannot infer the value, while `UndefinedVal` means the value it stores can be anything and reading from it is an UB. Unnamed bit-field is the second case.
I understand patching here may bring influences to other usages, even though the test of check-clang-analysis does not show any. So if you think that current implementation is incorrect but we'd better keep it before fully evaluating the influences, let me leave a FIXME comment here.
