Please excuse my ignorance, but where and what for is such a definition useful?
It's used to avoid GCC warnings, i.e. when GCC isn't smart enough to see that some variable isn't actually used uninitialized.
~/linux-2.6$ git grep uninitialized_var drivers/ | wc -l 94
You seem to be grepping the linux source tree.
Yes, which is a great source of best practices.
except you didnt filter drivers/staging/ thus negating any results you might try to use to back up arguments -mike
