This commit removes the setting of the `used` field of the contexts in the global state (g_state) in `ggml_init`. The motivation for this change is that I believe that this additional initialization might not be required after the changes in Commit 45fc4fe ("sync : latest changes from whisper.cpp"), which changed the initialization of the contexts field from `{ 0 }` to `{ { 0 } }`: ```console g_state = (struct ggml_state) { - /*.contexts =*/ { 0 }, + /*.contexts =*/ { { 0 } }, }; ``` My understanding is that the `{0}` initialization might not have zero-initialized all the nested fields in every array element because of compiler differences, and might have been the reason for having the explicit setting of the `used` fields to false.
