Heh... I'm not a gcc dev. Checking for uninitialized variables is harder than I would have thought though.. > I assume that you found it with smatch, and nobody else did. Yep. I'm getting close to releasing my uninitialized variable check. I guess the one thing holding me back is that I still have tons of false positives caused by mismatches between "if (ret)" and "if (ret < 0)" where the function assumes that non-zero is an error but the caller assumes that errors are negative. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
