Hi,
I noticed today that we actually currently just warn and not error
out while compiling GCC for uninitialized warnings.
While doing a build I got the following warning:
/src/gcc/local/gcc/gcc/cp/pt.c: In function 'subst_copy':
/src/gcc/local/gcc/gcc/cp/pt.c:9919: warning: 'len' may be used
uninitialized in this function
I looked into the code and could not figure out how to fix it as I
don't understand how variable argument templates should work here.
I also looked to figure out how to fix this so we get an error next
time and made this patch:
Index: gcc/system.h
===================================================================
--- gcc/system.h (revision 133718)
+++ gcc/system.h (working copy)
@@ -802,7 +802,7 @@ extern void fancy_abort (const char *, i
#pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Wcast-qual"

an error/-Werror). */

#endif
Hopefully someone can look into the warning and fix it and also apply
the patch to system.h after the warning has been fixed.
Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
