Come on! *s=0; is much more efficient, nobody will do what you say.
If this, useless, statement is generated by some code generator you can
correct it to generate better optimized code.
I agree this is a silly warning, but you asked for -Wall ;-)
The manpage says:

       -Wall  All  of the above `-W' options combined.  These are
              all the options which pertain to usage that we rec­
              ommend  avoiding  and  that  we  believe is easy to
              avoid, even in conjunction with macros.

And this warning looks quite easy to avoid.
