I wish this were the case, but alas I continue to see fairly trivial false positives from -Wuninitialized. Usually cases where the initialization and the use are both protected by equivalent conditionals at different places in the function. Personally, as a matter of *style*, I eliminate such cases either by initializing the variable or restructuring the function. But this is very much a question of style, not of correctness. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
