------- Comment #5 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-05-28 21:48 ------- The warning is correct you need to check if str had an error after reading the integer. This is not a GCC bug.
The IR looks like: <bb 7>: __comp_ctor (&str, s, 8); this.104 = (struct ios_base *) &str.D.25711; __s = this.104 + *(int *) (str.D.25711._vptr.basic_istream + -12); D.40158 = __s->_M_fmtflags; __s->_M_fmtflags = D.40158 & -57 | 16; _M_get_num (&str.D.25711, &__lval); <bb 8>: if (((this.104 + *(int *) (str.D.25711._vptr.basic_istream + -12))->_M_iostate & 5) != 0) goto <bb 10>; else goto <bb 9>; <bb 9>: __lval.107 = __lval; r = __lval.107; <bb 10>: __comp_dtor (&str); return r; Which shows for sure r may be used unitialized. Note using libstdc++ does not warn about this because we made >> out of line only which means you will not see the warning (even though the warning is correct). -- pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32132
