I was compiling origin/master today with stricter compiler flags today and was greeted by t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c: In function ‘cmd_main’: t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c:172:5: error: ‘nr_threads_used’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] printf("avg [size %8d] [single %f] %c [multi %f %d]\n", ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ nr, ~~~ (double)avg_single/1000000000, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (avg_single < avg_multi ? '<' : '>'), ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (double)avg_multi/1000000000, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ nr_threads_used); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c:115:6: note: ‘nr_threads_used’ was declared here int nr_threads_used; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do not see how we can arrive at that line without having `nr_threads_used` initialized, as we'd have `count > 1` (which asserts that we ran the loop above at least once, such that it *should* be initialized). I do not have time to dive into further analysis.
