Follow-up Comment #3:

This is a false positive.  The input is checked to be of numeric type at the
start of the function and then there is an if/else tree which decodes the
various numeric types and in every case info wil be assigned a value.

Valgrind and other software testing tools often have trouble with this
construct because there is neither a default assignment nor a final else
branch which the testing tool would recognize as catching all cases.

So, there is no problem with the code.  But, it might be useful to assign a
default value simply to silence the testing tools.
