[fpc-devel] Data flow analysis (dfa) and "case ... of"

[Denis Kozlov]

I just wanted to highlight that these cases as legal and I presume not 
uncommon, particularly if values are deserialized and typecasted.

It seems that there is no way for compiler to know if the result has 
indeed being initialized by reason of enumeration of valid values, 
because one has also account for invalid values.

I think that compiler should always warn (as it does now) if result is 
not initialized against all possible cases.
