The msvc compiler thinks that several variables could be used while uninitialised and issues 12 warnings like: ...\git\match-trees.c(75) : warning C4700: uninitialized local \ variable 'elem1' used ...\git\match-trees.c(76) : warning C4700: uninitialized local \ variable 'elem2' used ...\git\match-trees.c(77) : warning C4700: uninitialized local \ variable 'path1' used ...\git\match-trees.c(78) : warning C4700: uninitialized local \ variable 'path2' used ...\git\match-trees.c(79) : warning C4700: uninitialized local \ variable 'mode1' used ...\git\match-trees.c(80) : warning C4700: uninitialized local \ variable 'mode2' used In order to suppress the warnings, we simply initialise the char pointer variables to NULL and the int variables to zero.
