I agree that "a" should be intialized every time, in fact I do not
agree with your patch where you set it to be a volatile, it is not.
The main issue here is that the name and way this variable is used is
confusing.
A better way would be to define a locally in the first loop, and in the
function define a better name initialized to a negative value.
the name should probably be called something like base_attr_idx and
intialized as:
int base_attr_idx = 0;
and if the first part of the code finds the base_attr it is looking for
it would simply assing a to it (note we do away with "a" completely).
if (map) {
for (i = 1; i < attrs_num; i++) {
...
}
if (i < attrs_num) {
store = true;
base_attr_idx = i;
...
}
}
then the second for loop where you get the error would be change to:
for (ai = base_attr_idx; ai > 0 && ai < attrs_num; ai++) {
I suppose you meant similar patch
