Question:

I seem to be getting a bogus warning about an undefined function result. Can anyone confirm this?

Answer:

Both Delphi 5 and Delphi 6 will report:
Return value of function Undefined2 might be undefined

Delphi 7 will complain about Undefined1 as well.
Return value of function Undefined1 might be undefined
Return value of function Undefined2 might be undefined

This is a bug in Delphi 7.

program Project1;

function Undefined1 : boolean;
var
  b: boolean;
begin { Undefined1 }
  Undefined1 := False;
  b := True;
  if b then
    Undefined1 := True
end; { Undefined1 }


function Undefined2 : boolean;
var
  b: boolean;
begin { Undefined2 }
  b := True;
  if b then
    Undefined2 := True
end; { Undefined2 }


begin

end.

I got the same problem with strings

function myFunction(...) : String;
begin
Result := EmptyStr;
// some initialization stuff
try
try
// lot of stuff, not dealing with Result
except
on E:Exception do
Result := E.Message;
end;
finally
// finalization stuff, not dealing with Result
end;
end;
