[lwip-devel] [bug #35587] Uninitialized pointer

[Jiri Dobry]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #35587 (project lwip):

Thanks for reaction, but I can't agree that it is invalid.

Why:
- this stack is designed mainly for embeded systems and this world have some
different rules. For example MISRA 2004 Rule Number 9.1: "All automatic
variables shall have been assigned a value before being used.". This rule have
GOOD reason:

- when we use default initializations for variables, we can have problem after
sw reinit. In this case it is clear. "next_timeout" pointer is somewhere into
lwipheap. First call of lwip_init() is correct, but second try for restart IP
stack will fail. Pointer is not initialized and need not point to same segment
as is allocated for timmers.
