The problem is that GCC does not give an error (only a warning) even for 
things like this where it should be trivial to detect that the usage 
*is* uninitialized, not just might be:

int foo(void)
{
    int a;

    return a;
}

And further, there is no separation of warning classes into 
might-be-uninitialized and is-uninitialized-compiler-can-tell-for-sure.

In other words, there should be a way to tell the compiler to err on the 
side of not complaining if it's unsure, but still report the obvious 
ones (or make the latter an error but the former a warning).  That's not 
ESP or DWIM.
