Hello

Thanks for the report, strange that I do not have that warning.
todo is always initialized, since oleft and ileft are always > 0 at start.
But setting todo to 0 is a simple fix.
The following patch will suppress the warning.

Regards

Nack.  Please do not fix spurious uninitialised warnings in this
way.  Not only is this pointless but if someone introduced a real
uninitialised bug later on we'd never catch it because of this.

Cheers,
