Definitely agree with that.  Our project coding standards require _zero_ warnings at commit time (but that only applies to our code, not imported libraries).

What do you think the initialization is?  Something has to write the initial value, and that write is frequently pointless.

The real problem with this specific warning is that gcc doesn't properly track that a variable is used only under the same conditions in which it is set.
