Missing warning about uninitialized variable

[Mikael Vidstedt <mikael.vidstedt@bea.com>]

The following program may make use of an uninitialized variable (gurka):

int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   int gurka;

   if(argc == 10) {
      gurka = 3;
   }

   // gurka isn't necessarily initialized here...
   printf("%d\n", gurka);

   return 0;
}

GCC 4.0 will give a warning when this program is compiled with "-O
-Wall". GCC 4.1 and 4.2 do not give that warning. I haven't had the
possibility to try GCC 4.3.

What say ye?

Thanks,
Mikael
