[Bug c/18739] New: warning of uninitialized value gets suppressed without optimization with initialization after continue in loop

[maierkom at rcs dot ei dot tum dot de]

when compiling the following code without optimization no warning is given. when
optimization is enabled the following warning is printed:
warning: `i' might be used uninitialized in this function

This occures with gcc >= 3.3.2 (tested on 3.4.2 and 3.3.2) and independent of
host/target/build triplet (testet sparc-sun-solaris2.9 and i686-pc-linux-gnu)
with c and c++ frontend.

int a();

int b();

void f(int j)
{
        int i;
        do {
                if (a())
                        continue;
                i = b();
        } while (i);
}
