Hi Jerry,
I should have clarified in my posts that the warnings are on the use of
sstride[0], mstride[0] or both.
In a sense it is a
regression. It showed up when builds started to use -Wmaybe-unitialized.
I think this is OK for trunk now, and backport for up to whenever
-Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced into the build.
The "regression-only" rule is mostly motivated by not introducing
new bugs (and for Fortran, we have a bit of leeway), and I would
be hard to pressed to think of a patch less likely to introduce
regressions.
Thanks for the patch!
Best regards
Thomas
