C6001
warning C6001: using uninitialized memory <variable>
This warning is reported when an uninitialized local variable is used before it is assigned a value. This could lead to unpredictable results. You should always initialize variables before use.
Example
The following code generates this warning because variable i is only initialized if b is true; otherwise an uninitialized i is returned:
int f( bool b )
{
int i;
if ( b )
{
i = 0;
}
return i; // i is unintialized if b is false
}
To correct this warning, initialize the variable as shown in the following code:
int f( bool b )
{
int i= -1;
if ( b )
{
i = 0;
}
return i;
}
