this is my inclination too.
, but that would break uninit-5.c which seems to be a
common case:
the reported case is more obviously an uninitialized use than the uninit-5.c
case. I.e. every path into the loop body results in an uninitialized
use, whereas the uninit-5 case not every path into the second if is an
uninitialized use. Furthermore, gcc used not to be able to detect the
uninit-5 case, but could detect the reported case -- so in 'enhancing'
uninit-5 we get a regression.
