I would think we’d need to add a comment explaining that this is to work around a GCC 9 bug. Otherwise, someone could refactor this to get rid of the local variable. Another way to protect against that is to make sure we have at least EWS testing completion with GCC 9.

I almost added a comment, but in the end I decided it was low-value since if it's ever refactored, we'll either get a warning again and know right away, or else we won't (if GCC stops warning there) and it will be fine.

EWS won't catch it unless we enable -Werror. There are pros and cons to enabling -Werror on the EWS. The risk is that it will probably significantly increase the number of build failures. The benefit is that it will surely reduce the number of compiler warnings introduced.

(I agree it would be nice to have EWS testing more supported versions of GCC.)
