[Bug c/38961] if () block not true but a command in it is still in effect

The self-init is of course for the case where the -Wuninitialized warning is
bogus (which happens).  It simply has no effect on whatever undefinedness
is in your code - it was added to be a "cheaper" way instead of adding the
usual zero-initialization which people do when they get seemingly bogus
uninitialized warnings.

Yes, I see the situation is somewhat unfortunate here ;)
