[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 03/11] eepro100: initialize a variable in all cases

Compiling with GCC 4.6.0 20100925 produced warnings:

Fix by initializing 'val' at start.

I'm worried this sweeps bugs under the carpet.

When addr is out of bounds, these function return garbage.  Your patch
makes them return 0 instead.  Can that happen?  Shouldn't we catch and
flag it?

0 is a nice default value.

Adding an assert is not OK, guest shouldn't be able to terminate QEMU.
Adding a check which spams stdio is not so nice either.

I think it's even impossible with current QEMU for addr to be out of
bounds, the area is registered with size PCI_MEM_SIZE.

We should.

I'll test new code which uses an assertion instead of the if statements,
so a new patch might be ready until end of next week.

Blue Swirl's patch does no harm, so it could be applied
nevertheless if compiler warnings should be fixed now
(I had the same kind of patch in my queue).
