Variable defaults

Just popping in

Is there a command line option for GCC to throw a warning about not setting a variable default?

VOID
MyFunc()
{
Object *Pic;

....
}

Throw a warning since it is not:

Object *Pic=NULL;

I ran into an issue with this that fixed a bug for me. Mine as well set everything, right?

A good starting base is -Wall -Werror -Wwrite-strings

The -o3 optimization flag will report a situation when a variable may be used uninitialized.

@mritter0

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html some good docs.

CppCheck ( http://cppcheck.net/ ) can do a static analysis that finds also uninitialized variables. G++ doesn't seem to warn about uninitialized class members with -Wall -Wextra but CppCheck can find these, too.

@all

I use the options you guys posted. I do get the "may" be used uninitialized on occasion. But the problem I fixed, it wasn't reported.

I will check out CppCheck. Thanks.
