    Description

      Hello,

      When building the MASM library for 64 bit architectures, an unused variable was detected in the function:

          explicit ALWAYS_INLINE MatchResult(EncodedMatchResult encoded)
          {
              union u {
                  uint64_t encoded;
                  struct s {
                      size_t start;
                      size_t end;
                  } split;
              } value;
              value.encoded = encoded;
              start = value.split.start;
              end = value.split.end;
          }
      
      

      in the file qtdeclarative/src/3rdparty/masm/runtime/MatchResult.h

      Usually, on 64bit architectures, size_t equals the size of uint64_t, so this could lead to the value of end not being properly populated.
