It's still on trunk with -O0 (and with -Og) not with higher optimization levels. But I'm not sure I see this as a problem. The test case assigns an uninitialized variable for no apparent reason and expects the assignment to be eliminated. That does happen but only with optimization. The warning could probably be enhanced to figure this out by essentially implementing the same logic as the optimization does but that seems like going too far. With so many open bugs against -Wuninitialized of higher priority with no progress for a decade or more I'm going to resolve this one as fixed.
