[PATCH] PCI: rpaphp: Avoid a sometimes-uninitialized warning

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

 



When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, clang warns:

drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_core.c:243:14: warning: variable 'fndit' is
used uninitialized whenever 'for' loop exits because its condition is
false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        for (j = 0; j < entries; j++) {
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_core.c:256:6: note: uninitialized use occurs
here
        if (fndit)
            ^~~~~
drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_core.c:243:14: note: remove the condition if
it is always true
        for (j = 0; j < entries; j++) {
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_core.c:233:14: note: initialize the variable
'fndit' to silence this warning
        int j, fndit;
                    ^
                     = 0

Looking at the loop in a vacuum as clang would, fndit could be
uninitialized if entries was ever zero or the if statement was
always true within the loop. Regardless of whether or not this
warning is a problem in practice, "found" variables should always
be initialized to false so that there is no possibility of
undefined behavior.
