From 55632770d7298835645489828af87f854c47749c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:51:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf events: Fix false positive build warning with older GCC's gcc 4.2.1 produces: util/probe-event.c: In function 'add_perf_probe_events': util/probe-event.c:883: warning: 'tev' may be used uninitialized in this function make: *** [util/probe-event.o] Error 1 Newer GCCs get this right. To work it around, initialize the variable to NULL so that older GCCs see it as initialized too.
