Description Victor Homyakov CLA 2011-07-28 08:08:46 EDT 
Overview:
JS validator produces message "The local variable inner_callback may not have been initialized" on this code snippet:

Element.addMethods({
  observeOnce: function(element, event_name, outer_callback) {
    var inner_callback = function() {
      outer_callback.apply(this, arguments);
      Element.stopObserving(element, event_name, inner_callback);
    };
    Element.observe(element, event_name, inner_callback);
  }
});

Actual Results:
Warning on line:
      Element.stopObserving(element, event_name, inner_callback);

Expected Results:
No warnings. Variable is initialized.

Comment 1 Victor Homyakov CLA 2012-07-16 08:41:31 EDT 
Still not fixed in WTP 3.4.0 (tested on Eclipse SDK Version: 3.8.0 Build id: M20120626-2030).

Shorter example:

function f1() {
  var closing = setInterval(function() {
    clearInterval(closing);
  }, 30);
}
