Newer GCC (13.1.1 in my case) wrongly reports "maybe uninitialized" warning for this variable inside the next condition. Even though this accusation is wrong (the condition is guarded by the same condition as the for cycle initializing it), initialize it during the declaration so compilation errors don't stop others and maybe also future proof the code for changes.
