Description of Problem: Hello there, I just tried to compile package textutils-2.0.21-5 from Redhat 8.0. Here are some of the compiler messages. human.c:158: warning: `power' might be used uninitialized in this function cat.c:507: warning: `out_dev' might be used uninitialized in this function cat.c:510: warning: `out_ino' might be used uninitialized in this function od.c:1611: warning: `desired_width' might be used uninitialized in this function od.c:1621: warning: `pseudo_start' might be used uninitialized in this function paste.c:159: warning: `chr' might be used uninitialized in this function pr.c:2433: warning: `chars' might be used uninitialized in this function uniq.c:296: warning: `prevfield' might be used uninitialized in this function uniq.c:297: warning: `prevlen' might be used uninitialized in this function Here is a bunch of patches which fix the messages. *** ./lib/human.c.old 2002-11-05 11:10:43.000000000 +0000 --- ./lib/human.c 2002-11-05 11:11:16.000000000 +0000 *************** *** 155,161 **** int base; int to_block_size; int tenths = 0; ! int power; char *p; /* 0 means adjusted N == AMT.TENTHS; --- 155,161 ---- int base; int to_block_size; int tenths = 0; ! int power = 0; char *p; /* 0 means adjusted N == AMT.TENTHS; *** ./src/cat.c.old 2002-11-05 11:11:30.000000000 +0000 --- ./src/cat.c 2002-11-05 11:12:01.000000000 +0000 *************** *** 504,513 **** int argind; /* Device number of the output (file or whatever). */ ! dev_t out_dev; /* I-node number of the output. */ ! ino_t out_ino; /* Nonzero if the output file should not be the same as any input file. */ int check_redirection = 1; --- 504,513 ---- int argind; /* Device number of the output (file or whatever). */ ! dev_t out_dev = 0; /* I-node number of the output. */ ! ino_t out_ino = 0; /* Nonzero if the output file should not be the same as any input file. */ int check_redirection = 1; *** ./src/od.c.old 2002-11-05 11:12:12.000000000 +0000 --- ./src/od.c 2002-11-05 11:12:52.000000000 +0000 *************** *** 1608,1614 **** int n_files; size_t i; int l_c_m; ! size_t desired_width IF_LINT (= 0); int width_specified = 0; int n_failed_decodes = 0; int err; --- 1608,1614 ---- int n_files; size_t i; int l_c_m; ! size_t desired_width = 0; int width_specified = 0; int n_failed_decodes = 0; int err; *************** *** 1618,1624 **** /* The old-style `pseudo starting address' to be printed in parentheses after any true address. */ ! uintmax_t pseudo_start IF_LINT (= 0); program_name = argv[0]; setlocale (LC_ALL, ""); --- 1618,1624 ---- /* The old-style `pseudo starting address' to be printed in parentheses after any true address. */ ! uintmax_t pseudo_start = 0; program_name = argv[0]; setlocale (LC_ALL, ""); *** ./src/paste.c.old 2002-11-05 11:13:08.000000000 +0000 --- ./src/paste.c 2002-11-05 11:13:27.000000000 +0000 *************** *** 156,162 **** /* Number of files for which space is allocated in `delbuf' and `fileptr'.
