GCC had some pretty bogus notions about 'possible' uninitialized use that
encouraged some bad code patterns, but in this case there's readily
provable uninitialized use, that a compiler should warn about.
Is it possible to disable just the unreliable, probabilistic part of GCC's
uninitialized variables warnings?
