I see what you mean now. I checked different gcc versions, and with my patch I get
the warnings for 4.6 through 4.9, but not for 5.x.

In general, I tried to only address warnings I still see with newer gcc version,
as they are better about false positives. Do you think it's ok to take the
patch as is then? Otherwise we probably have to add fake initializations which
would shut up the warnings but not help with the code quality.
