--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Several(?) C duplicates exist which implicitely suggest a similar attribute. void bar (int *); void foo () { int i; bar (&i); } if we can annotate the first arg of 'bar' as "intent in" (aka, should be fully(!) initialized) then we can warn on this use.
