>
> GCC-12 complains about the possible use of un-initialized array. At compile
> time it seems like it is not able to evaluate the size as it involves run-time
> variable and at compile time it seems like gcc assumes value of "size"

> As part of the fix, "while (){}" is replaced by "do {} while()" which make the
> compiler to generate a code in which buf_vec will never be used un-
> initialized.
