utf8: NO_ICONV: silence uninitialized variable warning

sunshineco · gitster · commit e654eb29ab9d · 2015-06-05T15:36:35.000-07:00
The last argument of reencode_string_len() is an 'int *' which is
assigned the length of the converted string. When NO_ICONV is defined,
however, reencode_string_len() is stubbed out by the macro:

    #define reencode_string_len(a,b,c,d,e) NULL

which never assigns a value to the final argument. When called like
this:

    int n;
    char *s = reencode_string_len(..., &amp;n);
    if (s)
        do_something(s, n);

some compilers complain that 'n' is used uninitialized within the
conditional.
