In my personal code, when gcc complains about an uninitialized variable, even 
if the code is correct, I usually either add an initialization or restructure 
the code.

If the control flow is complicated enough that gcc can't follow it, usually the 
code takes some effort to understand, debugging in the future could waste time 
verifying that the variable is initialized in all flow paths, and changes to 
the code could accidentally create flow paths that leave the variable 
uninitialized.
