Ok, I sent a version 2.

Sorry, I should have removed the last line of the output from
clang that suggested doing that. Initializing a local variable
in the declaration is generally a bad idea precisely because it
prevents the compiler from warning about a case like this where
the author forgot to set the correct error value.
We should really fix clang to not propagate that nonsense.
