My enhanced version of trunk under test prints: pr90710.c: In function ‘testFunction’: pr90710.c:22:17: warning: ‘value’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 22 | printf("My if() causes -Wmaybe-uninitialized for my use of `value': %d\n",value); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pr90710.c:17:22: note: when ‘x == 0’ 17 | unsigned int value; | ^~~~~ pr90710.c:17:22: note: used when ‘_11 = PHI <0(3), 1(9)> != 0’ pr90710.c:17:22: note: ‘value’ was declared here The IL the warning sees (annotated with my comments) is below. The predicate that guards the possibly uninitialized use is (was_ok_8 != 0 && was_ok_8 == 0), which the warning should be able to determine is false. It doesn't because, as a result of the __builtin_expect() intrinsic which converts the first argument to long int, the assignment 'was_ok_8 = (int) _11' in bb 4 involves a conversion that the warning code doesn't handle. Changing the type of the variables to long avoids the warning. __attribute__((noinline)) void testFunction () { int was_ok; unsigned int value; volatile unsigned int x; unsigned int x.0_1; long int _2; unsigned int _11; <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: # .MEM_7 = VDEF <.MEM_6(D)> x ={v} 1; # VUSE <.MEM_7> x.0_1 ={v} x; if (x.0_1 == 0) goto <bb 3>; [34.00%] else goto <bb 9>; [66.00%] <bb 9> [local count: 708669600]: goto <bb 4>; [100.00%] <bb 3> [local count: 365072224]: <bb 4> [local count: 1073741824]: # _11 = PHI <0(3), 1(9)> # value_12 = PHI <value_13(D)(3), x.0_1(9)> was_ok_8 = (int) _11; <<< int to long conversion gets in the way if (was_ok_8 != 0) goto <bb 5>; [33.00%] else goto <bb 10>; [67.00%] <<< was_ok_8 == 0 <bb 10> [local count: 719407024]: goto <bb 6>; [100.00%] <bb 5> [local count: 354334800]: # .MEM_9 = VDEF <.MEM_7> printf ("My if() compiles fine: %d\n", value_12); <bb 6> [local count: 1073741824]: # .MEM_4 = PHI <.MEM_7(10), .MEM_9(5)> _2 = (long int) was_ok_8; if (_2 != 0) goto <bb 7>; [90.00%] <<< was_ok_8 != 0 else goto <bb 11>; [10.00%] <bb 11> [local count: 107374184]: goto <bb 8>; [100.00%] <bb 7> [local count: 966367641]: ## value_12 used when was_ok_8 != 0 AND was_ok_8 == 0 <<< must be false # .MEM_10 = VDEF <.MEM_4> printf ("My if() causes -Wmaybe-uninitialized for my use of `value\': %d\n", value_12); <bb 8> [local count: 1073741824]: # .MEM_5 = PHI <.MEM_4(11), .MEM_10(7)> # VUSE <.MEM_5> return; }
