[PATCH 3/4] drop some obsolete "x = x" compiler warning hacks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In cases where the setting and access of a variable are
protected by the same conditional flag, older versions of
gcc would generate a "might be used unitialized" warning. We
silence the warning by initializing the variable to itself,
a hack that gcc recognizes.

Modern versions of gcc are smart enough to get this right,
going back to at least version 4.3.5. gcc 4.1 does get it
wrong in both cases, but is sufficiently old that we
probably don't need to care about it anymore.

gcc 4.2 is conspicuously missing because no current Debian system even
has a backwards-compatibility package for it, making it harder to test.
And 4.3 was old enough for me to say "I do not care if you can run with
-Wall -Werror or not", let alone 4.2.
