Full_Name: Mark Favas
Version: 1.5.2+
OS: Tru64 Unix
Submission from: groucho.per.dem.csiro.au (130.116.27.1)


Building CVS Python 1.5.2+ of 30 March 200 on Tru64 Unix (V4.0 1229 alpha) with
Compaq C (Compaq C V6.1-110 (dtk) on Digital UNIX V4.0F) results in the
following
warning:

cc -O -Olimit 1500 -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -c ceval.c -o ceval.o
cc: Warning: ceval.c, line 1670: The scalar variable "args" is fetched but not
initialized.  And there may be other such fetches of this variable that have
not
been reported in this compilation. (uninit1)
                                Py_DECREF(args);
--------------------------------^

Looking at the code, args is defined at the start of the function as:
        PyObject **args; (line 343)
and subsequently redefined as:
                        PyObject *args; (line 1618)
