Description d.binderman 2004-02-15 07:15:38 EST

Description of problem:

I just tried to compile package ORBit-0.5.17-10.3 from Fedora.

The compiler said

1.

orbit-event-server.c(674): remark #592: variable "retval" is used
before its value is set

The source code is

CORBA_any *
impl_CosEventChannelAdmin_ProxyPullSupplier_pull(impl_POA_CosEventChannelAdmin_ProxyPullSupplier
* servant,
                                    CORBA_Environment * ev)
{
   CORBA_any *retval;

   return retval;
}

retval contains rubbish, which is returned to the caller.
Suggest initialise retval before first use.

2.

orbit-event-server.c(684): remark #592: variable "retval" is used
before its value is set
orbit-event-server.c(743): remark #592: variable "retval" is used
before its value is set
orbit-event-server.c(752): remark #592: variable "retval" is used
before its value is set
orbit-event-server.c(761): remark #592: variable "retval" is used
before its value is set

Duplicates.

Sorry to do this again - but its the thing same as with bug #111018
and bug #113376. ORBit is another package retained for compatibility
reasons. Its event server was never used in practice and is removed in
ORBit2. Thanks

>Sorry to do this again

No problem, the bug still exists in 0.5.17-15, at least five versions
newer than the version I reported the bug in.

I don't really understand how supposedly dead packages keep getting their
version numbers bumped.

This bug still exists in Fedora Core 4, Test 1, dated about 27 April 2005 
or so.
