Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 3/3] CryptoPkg/BaseCryptLib: Fix possible uninitialized use

["Sergei Dmitrouk" <sergei@posteo.net>]

Hello Jiewen,

I get the error only for GCC49 and not for GCC5 toolchain.  CI uses GCC5.

So I compared build commands and this seems to depend on LTO.  Adding `-flto`
impedes compiler's ability to detect such simple issues.

I've found relevant bug report, there is even fix suggestion from last month:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90844

Regards,
Sergei
