Hello list, I am facing an inconvenient problem.
Suppose I have a C library, that I want to use from vala: // Always return true extern bool lib_initialized (); // data is always set when work returns true extern bool lib_work (out int data); int main(string[] args) { int the_datum; bool has_datum = (lib_initialized () && lib_work (out the_datum)); if (has_datum) { stdout.printf ("Hello, %d!\n", the_datum); } return 0; } If I am to compile this (0.42.5, -C only, not link), I get an error message: test.vala:11.3-11.44: error: use of possibly unassigned local variable `the_datum' stdout.printf ("Hello, %d!\n", the_datum); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) The workaround is obvious: initialize the_datum. However, I like to run my code under valgrind to detect when reading from an uninitialized variable (I make lots of mistakes ^^), and so if there is a bug in lib_work and I initialize the_datum, then I will not be able to notice the problem. Is it possible to instruct valac that it should not worry? Or is it possible to change this error to a simple warning?
