These warnings are not introduced by this patch from Sunil. I'm not sure why I didn't notice these warnings before. Probably my gcc version is not new eought? Actually these warnings are bogus, as I checked the related functions, which may confuse the compiler's static analysis. I'm going to make a patch to initialize the pointers to NULL to suppress the warnings. My patch will be based on the latest's net.git + this patch from Sunil.Sunil should then resubmit his patch against something that has the warning suppression patch applied.
David, Dexuan's patch to suppress the warnings seems to be applied now to the 'net' branch. Can we please get this patch applied as well?
