I didn't know the exact intention of 'uninitialized_var' before. Its commit message (9490991482a2091a828d997adbc088e24c310a4d) convinces me to accept this compromise. It will silence the warning, but it can be disabled if such warnings want to be seen. Also, there is no extra code added like with '= 0'. I still do think however, gcc should be able to find out what happens. There is no pointer magic involved here... > --- > drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mxs.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mxs.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mxs.c > index 04eb441..02ce1fa 100644 > --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mxs.c > +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mxs.c > @@ -193,7 +193,7 @@ static int mxs_i2c_wait_for_data(struct mxs_i2c_dev *i2c) > > static int mxs_i2c_finish_read(struct mxs_i2c_dev *i2c, u8 *buf, int len) > { > - u32 data; > + u32 uninitialized_var(data); > int i; > > for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { > -- > 1.7.10 >
