It is a distinct pragma from warn_uninitializedvar, which uses a slightly different process to detect the uninitialized variables.
It will give a warning whenever local variables are used before being initialized along any path to the usage. As a result, you get more warnings.
However, some of the warnings will be false ones. The warnings will be false when all of the paths with uninitialized status turn out to be paths that can never actually be taken.
