Does not the FPC compiler reserve and zero the memory area of such
variables?
No.
Does thios mean that the memory is reserved but not cleared or does it
mean that memory is not reserved at all?
the memory is reserved, but not initialized.
In any case I am using Move() to fill the variables with data from a
binary buffer, maybe the compiler is not smart enough to detect this
and remove the warning?
The compiler has no way of knowing if your move statement initializes the
full record.
Well, if it has no way of knowing that the record is stuffed with data
then why does it issue a notice that it seems uninitialized?
Are there other commands it does detect as initialization of the
variable?
not that I know of.
you need to assign it a value, you can assign it default(yourtype)
