Let me repeat again. The warning is a false positive, and thus assignment isn't useful. I'm not worried about a single instruction, more about polluting the code.
If the warning was escalated to build error, and we did carry about building with gcc8, in this case the assignment should be added with a comment /* pacify gcc */.
