If you return early from a function and forget to give a variable a
value you actually want, you may use it pre-initialized with a bad
value. I would be surprised if a compiler complained about these ones
because they are simple assignments and they aren't under conditional
paths. If there is still a problem, you can use the uninitialized_var()
macro but I don't see why you would need to.
