Public bug reported:
goplay FTBFS on ppc64el with:
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I/usr/include/tagcoll-2.0.14 -Wall -Werror
-ggdb -g -O3 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security
-std=c++11 -c -o XDGDesktopEntry.o XDGDesktopEntry.cpp
XDGDesktopEntry.cpp: In member function 'int XDGDesktopEntry::run(const char*)':
XDGDesktopEntry.cpp:655:17: error: 'value' may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
if (value[i] == 'i') {

This does not make much sense to me. The code:
// Now run the desktop file
getEntry("Exec", NULL, &value);
// XXX: For now, just remove the field codes...
std::string commandString;
for(unsigned int i = 0; value[i] != '\0'; i++) {
if (value[i] == '%') {
i++;
if (value[i] == 'i') {
value is a "const char*" and gets initialized in the getEntry(). Even
*if* there was a reason to argue that value might be uninitialized, then
the complaint should already be for the "for" loop. There is no reason
why value should be valid in the "for" loop and for the "value[i] ==
'%'" check, but after incrementing just "i" it would suddenly not be any
more.
It builds fine on Debian ppc64el
(https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=goplay&arch=ppc64el&ver=0.9.1%2Bnmu1&stamp=1448818386)
and on all other Ubuntu architectures. So this seems to be specific to
gcc-5 on Ubuntu on ppc64el.
