Isn't the right fix to replace that by msg.flags = I2C_M_RD; ? Rasmus

Perhaps your compiler is just friendly enough to show you the declaration of the struct i2c_msg, but clearly declaring an automatic variable without initializing it is not, by itself, wrong. Otherwise "int ret;" in that very same function should be warned about, and 100000 other instances in any code base written in C. Please show the exact output from the compiler and the compiler version. > Initializing msg variable will be better. No, understanding the cause of the warning and fixing that is clearly better.

Sorry, acctually not build system. It's code analysis tool. Such as: Declaring variable msg without initializer. (struce i2c_msg msg;) Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT), uninit_use: Using uninitialized value msg.flags.(msg.flags |= I2C_M_RD) > > > Initializing msg variable will be better. > > No, understanding the cause of the warning and fixing that is clearly better. > > Rasmus
