By compiling the attached files I get a warning like this:
./some_package-some_seperate_package.adb: In function
'SOME_PACKAGE.SOME_SEPERATE_PACKAGE.GET_STATE':
./some_package-some_seperate_package.adb:22: warning:
'state_infos.current_state' is used uninitialized in this function
but I think there should be no warning at all.
It seems it takes several conditions to trigger this warning:
- a record variable as a out parameter
- the code most be in a seperate package
- The flags -Wuninitialized and -fPIC need to be set
I can reproduce this on 4.3.3 and 4.3.0 (and probably more versions).
$ gcc -v -save-temps -c -I./ -Wuninitialized -fPIC -O2 ./some_package.adb
Using built-in specs.
