[Bug c/21357] New: Erroneous warning: " ... may be used uninitialized in this function"

Output of gcc -v: 
 
Using built-in specs. 
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/home/williamg/local/x86_64-40

Command line:

Output: 
cc1: warnings being treated as errors 
3.c: In function â??mainâ??: 
3.c:6: warning: â??initialised_when_a_is_non_zeroâ?? may be used uninitialized in 
this function

extern int g (int); 
 
int main () { 
 const int a = g (0); 
 int initialised_when_a_is_non_zero; 
 if (a) 
  initialised_when_a_is_non_zero = 10; 
 g (1); 
 if (a) 
  g (initialised_when_a_is_non_zero); 
 return 0; 
} 
 
It's clearly impossible that we use initialised_when_a_is_non_zero unless it 
has been initialised. 
 
The warning does not appear with -O0. 
 
Removing the line "g (1);" also makes the warning disappear.
