That's the idea of hints. Telling you you need to look at the code once, and if it's ok => good. But if the hint was correct => fix it.
But if you later change your code it may become not ok again. I don't think that this is good working practice. I would prefer to have the compiler recognize that fillchar *is* an initialization of a variable. That would solve the issue for all times and under all circumstances. No need for workarounds.
