It's not just a matter of "-O1 vs -O2". It's not as if the source code were made for -O1 only. Uninitialized variables can lead to undefined behaviour. With or without optimisation. Already a single bit decides between 0 and 1, False and True, NULL-ptr and invalid ptr, for example. Even worse for longer variables. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.30 0.23 0.27 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
