Hi,

In function 'canonicalize_filename_mode_stk',
    inlined from 'canonicalize_filename_mode' at lib/canonicalize.c:464:18,
    inlined from 'get_dev' at src/df.c:1111:26:
lib/canonicalize.c:383:33: error: 'end_idx' may be used uninitialized 
[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  383 |                 end = extra_buf + end_idx;
      |                                 ^
lib/canonicalize.c: In function 'get_dev':

I get this while compiling v9.5 git tag after bootstrap.

Using:  make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-maybe-uninitialized"
is a workaround at the moment.

Best regards

I'm not seeing that false alarm when building coreutils v9.5 on Ubuntu 
24.04 LTS with "./configure --enable-gcc-warnings CC=gcc-14".

What GCC version are you using? If it's not GCC 14, try upgrading. I'm 
using gcc-14 (Ubuntu 14-20240412-0ubuntu1) 14.0.1 20240412 
(experimental) [master r14-9935-g67e1433a94f].

I think LTO is key here, as GCC has more context then to produce warnings.
With `-march=native -O3 -flto` on GCC 14.2.1 I see,
2 false warnings in gnulib (patch attached).
1 correct warning in coreutils (patch attached).

Marking this as done.
I'll apply the patches later today.

cheers,
Pádraig.
