[Bug c/38945] New: No warning when using unset variable

["fredrik at hederstierna dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The 4.x compilers does not warn when using unset variables.
The 3.x compilers did warn on this:

Example:

int use_unset_variable(int y)
{
  int x;
  switch(y) {
  case 0:
    x = 0;
    break;
  default:
    break;
  }
  x++;
  return x;
}

Variable x could be unset when returning.
I use all warnings possible:

-Wall -W -Wextra

Best Regards
Fredrik
