<p>
          Sometimes on GCC compilers below version 5.1 you may get an -Wmaybe-uninitialized
          warning when copiling with option -02 on a perfectly valid <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span></code> usage. For instance in this
          program:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>

<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">getitem</span><span class="special">();</span>

<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">main</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">argc</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="special">*[])</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
  <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">getitem</span><span class="special">();</span>

  <span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">argc</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="special">)</span>
    <span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">argc</span><span class="special">;</span>

  <span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">!=</span> <span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">)</span>
    <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">;</span>

  <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>
          This is a bug in the compiler. As a workaround (provided in <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21755206/how-to-get-around-gcc-void-b-4-may-be-used-uninitialized-in-this-funct" target="_top">this
          Stack Overflow question</a>) use the following way of initializing
          an optional containing no value:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">make_optional</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">false</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">());</span>
</pre>
<p>
          This is obviously redundant, but makes the warning disappear.
