I suspect that you have a C++ background. If this is not accurate, ignore the rest. But if it is accurate, my plea to you is: Learn other languages. C++ has next to no innovative language features (even C++11's take on lambdas is an abomination) and encourages defensive programming to the point where it's ridiculous (I mean, no default initialization of variables? In 2012?).
In C++ it's even better (irony). It depends on what kind of variable is declared. I.e. a global variable, a local, instance or a class variable (static). Some of these are default initialized, some are not. I have no idea which are initialized and which are not.
