Subject: [patch] ftape: shut up gcc - warning about possibly uninitialized var in drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-io.c
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 00:49:22 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0501070043400.3430@dragon.hygekrogen.localhost> (raw)


Tiny patch whose only purpose in life is to shut up gcc below 
(initializing flags to zero serves no real purpose in this function, so 
this really is just a 'shut up gcc' patch) : 

This is the warning it will elliminate : 
drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-io.c:93: warning: 'flags' might be used uninitialized in this function

Apply if you want, if you don't that's just fine too :)
