Subject: [PATCH] dwflpp::function_entrypc avoid usage of uninitialized memory
Failure on 3.3 release was observed. Failure was elusive and
disappeared after seemingly random configure option change, or when
code was compiled with -O1 or -O0 (vs default -O2). Running failing
test case under valgrind memcheck pointed to couple places where
'Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)' occured.
After addressing these in two places in dwflpp::function_entrypc,
valgrind memcheck run is clean and original issue got fixed.
