What?

Initialize status = NIXL_ERR_NOT_FOUND before the backend creation loop to silence g++ -Werror=maybe-uninitialized.

Why?

This fails to compile on new g++

How?

Initialize the variable before use.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved reliability of the metadata exchange test by ensuring deterministic initialization of a status variable. This prevents undefined behavior and reduces flakiness, making test outcomes more consistent and stable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A test-local variable status in TEST_F(MetadataExchangeTestFixture, LocalNonLocalMDExchange) was explicitly initialized to NIXL_ERR_NOT_FOUND at declaration to ensure a deterministic value when backend creation does not succeed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Test Variable Initialization test/gtest/metadata_exchange.cpp	Initialized nixl_status_t status to NIXL_ERR_NOT_FOUND at declaration in LocalNonLocalMDExchange test to avoid an uninitialized variable on some code paths.

Poem

🐇 I hopped through code at dawn's first light,
Found a status lost from sight,
Gave it a home — NIXL_ERR_NOT_FOUND —
Now tests run steady, safe and sound,
🥕✨
