[ Greg reported a warning raised by gcc. ] In file included from drivers/staging/erofs/unzip_vle.h:16:0, from drivers/staging/erofs/unzip_vle.c:13: drivers/staging/erofs/unzip_vle.c: In function ‘z_erofs_map_blocks_iter’: drivers/staging/erofs/internal.h:303:34: warning: ‘pblk’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] #define blknr_to_addr(nr) ((erofs_off_t)(nr) * EROFS_BLKSIZ) ^ drivers/staging/erofs/unzip_vle.c:1574:20: note: ‘pblk’ was declared here erofs_blk_t mblk, pblk; ^~~~ Actually, it is a false-positive warning when looking into that. [1] Just initialize the variable to keep gcc from printing foolish warnings.
