I know what the immediate meaning is, but not the cause.

This is usually as a result of something like this:

void    some_function(const void *some_pointer) {
        char *my_copy_of_some_pointer;

        my_copy_of_some_pointer = (char *)some_pointer;

[...]
}

The cast discards the "const" qualifier to the target type.
Why this may be occurring, I don't know.

This means that a variable is used in a function, seemingly without
being assigne a value first.

This is a complaint for something like

        unsigned short int i, j;

        j = i << 24;

where an unsigned short int is 16 bits.
