What I really want to see in error presentation is a trace-based presentation. Construct a sample execution (could be abstract of course) which shows how the error happens. E.g., Variable x may be used uninitialized along this path: int x; ***if (a) x = 1; ***foo(&a); ***if (a) *** print(x); Eh.

Variable x may be used uninitialized along this path:

int x;
***if (a)
x = 1;
***foo(&a);
