There is actually no usage of uninitialized variable there, though it is probably not exactly straightforward for compiler to guess. Why it does not complain that 'cdesc[index]' may be used uninitialized while it is handled the same way?
Yes, I did not find this really being used uninitialized (and, yes, you're right, it actually does complain about cdesc[index] as well -- those were the other warnings I referred to, where I did not have a fix/workaround yet).
I suppose cdesc[index] can be zeroed on error in the same function which fills it, but in my understanding the wined3d style did not approve redundant zero initializations (unless I missed anything here), including auto variables and redundant HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY flag to HeapAlloc(). So what should happen now to the code already there and new patches if gcc 8 starts issuing this warning false positive? Could it be just a bug which will be fixed in gcc maybe?
If I understood Gerald's email correctly, those other warnings are also fixed by your patch. BTW, could you please send it as a proper patch to wine-patches? It would be helpful :)
