- Reply-to: gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org
With the testcode below I get an uninitialized use warning.
There should be no warning since foobar is always assigned when (!bar), and
foobar is only used when (!bar).
bar is an argument to the function and nothing changes it, and it is not
aliased.
$ gcc -O2 -Wall -c foo.c
foo.c: In function ?foo?:
foo.c:6: warning: ?foobar? may be used uninitialized in this function
This happens on both 4.3.2 and trunk
$ gcc -v
