Hi there,
I just stumbled upon the fact that -Wall isn't as reliable in reporting
the usage of uninitialized variables as I thought.
Given the following code
int main()
{
unsigned int F;
//unsigned int& G = F;
if (F==0){F++;}
}
g++ tells my, as expected "warning: âFâ is used uninitialized in this
function".
This is not the case if I uncomment the 4th line, assigning the G alias
to F. The same does happen if I declare a function
void foo(unsigned int& F){}
and replace the assignement line with a function call. I do understand,
that it would be difficult to follow up all possible aliases of F to
rule out the possibility of being non initialized but shouldn't this be
a easy enough to detect?
Thanks,
Jochen
