A variable whose address escapes is not considered by the warning. It sees the following IL: ;; Function f (f, funcdef_no=0, decl_uid=1947, cgraph_uid=1, symbol_order=0) void f () { long unsigned int i; long unsigned int i.0_1; long unsigned int _2; <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: # .MEM_4 = VDEF <.MEM_3(D)> h (); # VUSE <.MEM_4> i.0_1 = i; <<< i loaded from memory and not considered _2 = i.0_1 + 1; <<< missing -Wuninitialized # .MEM_5 = VDEF <.MEM_4> i = _2; # .MEM_6 = VDEF <.MEM_5> g (&i); # .MEM_7 = VDEF <.MEM_6> i ={v} {CLOBBER}; # VUSE <.MEM_7> return; } The pointless load persists until the assembly: f: .LFB0: .cfi_startproc subq $24, %rsp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 32 call h leaq 8(%rsp), %rdi <<< i loaded from memory addq $1, 8(%rsp) <<< i++ call g addq $24, %rsp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 8 ret .cfi_endproc *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 60488 ***
