Hans, what's the policy for fixing gcc-related issues ? Should the code use uninitialized_var() to make every gcc version happy, or can ignore the warnings when a newer gcc version fixes the problem > Signed-off-by: Alexey Klimov <klimov.linux@gmail.com> > > -- > diff -r cda79523a93c linux/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.c > --- a/linux/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.c Thu Apr 16 18:30:38 2009 > +0200 +++ b/linux/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.c Sun Apr 19 23:58:02 > 2009 +0400 @@ -1726,7 +1726,7 @@ > static int __uvc_resume(struct usb_interface *intf, int reset) > { > struct uvc_device *dev = usb_get_intfdata(intf); > - int ret; > + int ret = 0; > > uvc_trace(UVC_TRACE_SUSPEND, "Resuming interface %u\n", > intf->cur_altsetting->desc.bInterfaceNumber); Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Personally, I don't like very much this approach, since it will get rid forever of such error for that var. However, a future patch could make that var truly uninitialized. So, an extra care should be taken on every patch touching a var that uses uninitialized_var() macro. From my side, I accept patches with both ways to fix it.

I wasn't talking about ' = 0' vs. 'uninitialized_var()', but rather about submitting a patch vs. considering the problem fixed because gcc 4.3.2 doesn't spit a warning while gcc 4.3.1 does.

Since 4.3.1 is a supported gcc version, it is better to fix the warning for it.
