Are you sure this is a good fix and that the compiler hasn't instead identifed that we should be returning an error in the default case?

If setting mode to idle is not really a valid state, then default should return an error. The old behavior returned 0 and I am treating this as a regression. Tom

Yes, that's what I'm asking. > The old behavior returned 0 and I am treating this as a regression. The goal here isn't just to shut up warnings, it's to fix any problems that they identify. Unconditionally initialising return values is a common way of fixing warnings while leaving real problems in place.
