I find the current release (2.6.2) initialises a string function
result to EmptyStr as you would hope.

Prints AA

Hello,

I'm asking because today I has updated my old 2.7.1 SVN since 8-9 months and a library starts to fail and the "bug" was the Result string which enters the function with a value while it does not happend in the old one.

If Result as string is not initialized a warning should be issued do not ? This happends in your simple test, but I was unable to find it in the library that I'm using.

The code that makes me wonder something is wrong is this one:

-----------------------------------
{$mode objfpc}
{$h+}

procedure TheB(var aTheA: string);

begin
  aTheA:=aTheA+'A';
end;

function TheA(): string;

begin
  //Result:='';
  TheB(Result);
end;

Var
  C : String;

begin
  C:='B';
  C:=TheA;
  C:=TheA;
  Writeln('= "',C,'"');
end.
-----------------------------------

In this situation no warning happends and result is different if I uncomment the "Result:='';" line.

I think the missing warning is a bug, the missing warning or the non initialization.
