Again, the problem I have with the notion that we want to get consistent answers is that doing so, is going to give us a lot of false positives. That IMHO is a huge step backwards if that's how we make -Wuninitialized work.
I am certainly open to the idea of having a new option to ensure those consistent results. And for GCC development we can choose to turn that option on or off in our Makefiles -- just as other projects who want that level of consistentcy can do. jeff
