used before set
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:36 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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
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.
