Btw, GCC misses a lot of uninitialized variable bugs. I have a Smatch check which sometimes catches the bugs that GCC misses but you should not rely on the tools here. These patches need to be reviewed manually. And the "goto err" before the initialization makes everything more complicated (that's actually what caused the bug in this patch, in fact). regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
