Not quite. In the bug comment you wrote:

The warning is by design for all kinds of variables and regardless of their storage location (as noted by the original submitter, global/static variables of any kind are always initialised by 0/nil/...). The warning means that no value has been explicitly assigned to these variables (which may indicate a logic error in the code), not necessarily that they contain an unpredictable value.

But still there is the question *why* this design exists?
I think it is a bad design.
It should know that managed types *are* initialized and not raise a warning in this case.
Why generate a warning with an incorrect statement?
Am I forced to add (superfluous) initialization code or somehow suppress this kind of
warning just to get rid of this false warnings which are useless from the beginning?
