As mentioned in the previous patch I do not think they are pointless in the long
run. I prefer ret, rc, rv and similar to be initialised to error/negative value
and others to their null values (numbers to zero, pointers to NULL etc.) even
though I know this is a very subjective opinion.
If you really want to push for this then it would require making
Of course the compiler can check if the value is used before initialisation.
And I hope all current compilers do that with our warning options. Except they
cannot check for that if you only pass the address of the value. I guess these
are fine, but I would not like to create a precedent.
What I think we should do instead is make an exception for defining variables
for iteration in the for loop itself. I know it's only 21 years since it was
standardised and we want to make sure all the compilers and distros can handle
it... /s
OK, I understand that defining variables in the middle of the function most of
the time clutters the code, but for 'i' and 'j' I, for one, see simply no
reason
to disallow that.
