Try doing this:
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wuninitialized"
foo(b); /* no diagnostic for this one */
This pragma comes in three interesting and helpful flavors : warning, error, ignored. See 6.56.10 Diagnostic Pragmas for their usages. The link says,
GCC allows the user to selectively
enable or disable certain types of
diagnostics, and change the kind of
the diagnostic. For example, a
project’s policy might require that
all sources compile with -Werror but
certain files might have exceptions
allowing specific types of warnings.
Or, a project might selectively enable
diagnostics and treat them as errors
depending on which preprocessor macros
are defined.
