Hello, in attempt to build boost for android with more or less reasonable strict settings (-Werror) I uncovered some bugs which I cannot report on github because these projects have Issues disabled. I will post them here in hopes they will eventually reach appropriate maintainers. == ONE: boost.containers == clang-darwin.compile.c android-build/boost/bin.v2/ libs/container/build/clang-darwin-5.0~x86/debug/address- model-32/link-static/target-os-android/threading-multi/alloc_lib.o In file included from libs/container/src/alloc_lib.c:19: libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1097:8: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes- uninitialized] if (!PREACTION(m)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1125:11: note: uninitialized use occurs here return ret; ^~~ libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1097:4: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true if (!PREACTION(m)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ libs/container/src/dlmalloc_ext_2_8_6.c:1095:4: note: variable 'ret' is declared here boost_cont_malloc_stats_t ret; ^ 1 error generated.
