The latest version of this topic can be found at Compiler Warning (level 1 and level 4) C4700.

uninitialized local variable 'name' used

You used the local variable name without first assigning it a value, which could lead to unpredictable results.

The following sample generates C4700:

// C4700.cpp  
// compile with: /W1  
int main() {  
   int i;  
   return i;   // C4700  
}  

Under /clr:safe this is a level 4 warning. The following sample generates C4700:

// C4700b.cpp  
// compile with: /W4 /clr:safe /c  
using namespace System;  
int main() {  
   Int32^ bi;  
   return *bi;   // C4700  
}
