It's currently preventing the debian build of dolfinx on mip64el, build log here. In this context it's treated as an error (-Werror=maybe-uninitialized) causing the build to fail. (I haven't understood why it's only affecting mips64el and not other architectures. The other dolfinx builds are found at https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=fenics-dolfinx )
The error also shows up in xtensor 0.7.4 CI testing on the conventional amd64 architecture, e.g https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/x/xtensor/25056327/log.gz In this context it's treated as a warning (-Wmaybe-uninitialized) not an error, so the tests pass. But the warning is still there.
Are code changes possible to prevent this warning from being emitted?
