aes368 at cornell dot edu changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |aes368 at cornell dot edu --- Comment #5 from aes368 at cornell dot edu --- Created attachment 42937 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=42937&action=edit Code that causes incorrect compiler warning This is also an issue for me. The attached code raises a warning. Changing the loop end point from 2 to 1 makes the warning go away. The command line used to compile is: g++ t.cc -Wall -Ofast -std=c++11 and the warning raised is: t.cc: In function ‘int main()’: t.cc:9:10: warning: ‘dist.std::normal_distribution<float>::_M_saved’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] v[0] = dist(generator); This is an issue both with GCC 5.3.1 and GCC 7.2.1. Using built-in specs.
