From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> The control flow in scandir() (only used on Windows) confuses gcc into thinking that *name_list is not always set on success, which causes a -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning in __populate_fs(). As far as I can tell it's a false positive; however, avoid it by cleanly separating the success and failure cases in scandir().
