By taking a look at the file, I notice there was 1 #ifdef DBG_TRACE_BASIC and several blocks of #ifdef DBG_TRACE_PROFILING. Is it really useful to keep both? What about removing DBG_TRACE_PROFILING and considerin that
DBG_TRACE_BASIC should enable all debug (Basic + profiling) ?

I never used this snazy debug support but always wanted to check it out, being able to dump out the pcode ( which at a quick glance seems to be supported ) is *very* useful. I am not convinced the timing information support offered when DBG_TRACE_PROFILING is really useful ( cachegrind etc seem a better choice for that ) But.. then again a cheap and nasty indicator doesn't do any harm, personally I would not lump the 2 together I would guess the timer related output if it were always on would introduce lots of *noise* into the trace info. For me the choice would be either squash the warning or remove (carefully) the DBG_TRACE_PROFILING related functionality ( and the offending variable). Now IMHO removing that stuff is probably more effort than it's worth and squashing the warning would be the easiest thing to do.

would
TimerBuffer[0] = '\0' satisfy cppcheck or is the following statement legal
char TimeBuffer[200="";
( it works for me on gcc but would not bet its really valid c++ )
Thank you Noel for your detailed answer. I pushed a fix on master (see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=fc27fec0543009dbb6c6ca002283564215aae4b1).

After having read some forums like stackoverflow, it seems the standard and secure way was "memset". (std::fill seemed to me appropriate for more "C++ish" elements like vectors than for an array of chars)
