--- Comment #6 from Jie Zhang <jiez at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-02-16 08:32:14 UTC --- I think we all know that dhrystone is a bad benchmark. But some users don't. Which is more difficult: educating all users about that vs apply a simple patch in GCC to remove the useless initialization? 4.4 does has such initialization. But 4.5 has. Fixing this is an improvement and does not hurt. From another point, leaving it unfixed does not help GCC.
