> Compiler shows a warning that variables may be used uninitialized in
> avro_value_cmp_fast():
> /home/user/avro-trunk/lang/c/src/value.c: In function 'avro_value_cmp_fast':
> /home/user/avro-trunk/lang/c/src/value.c:387:13: warning: 'size2' may be used
> uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
> /home/user/avro-trunk/lang/c/src/value.c:387:13: warning: 'size1' may be used
> uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
> /home/user/avro-trunk/lang/c/src/value.c:388:11: warning: 'buf1' may be used
> uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
> /home/user/avro-trunk/lang/c/src/value.c:388:11: warning: 'buf2' may be used
> uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
> Examining the file shows that the warnings are real, and the variables size1,
> buf1, size2, buf2 should be loaded before they are used. The simple fix is to
> copy matching code from the function avro_value_equal_fast(). I will attach
> that code in an upcoming patch.
> Cheers,
