Description Anders Kaseorg 2004-03-26 04:22:38 UTC 
If I wrote int i = i + 1, I'd expect to get an error or at least a warning, but
GCC doesn't give a peep even with -Wall. Instead it proceeds to increment an
uninitialized register and store it to i. Maybe there's some reason for this,
but I don't see it.

Tested with GCC 3.3.3-3 on Fedora Core development and 2.96-113 on Red Hat 7.3.

Yes because it is a dup of bug 10538 which is fixed in 3.4.0.  Thanks.
