I think more could have been done, particularly in the area
of uninitialized variables. For simple variables, I like the
CDL approach which says that there must not exist any static
paths through the program allowing a simple variable to be
undefined (i.e. no ud chain can reach from a reference to a
declaration with no initialization). This worked very well
in CDL in practice (CDL = Koster's Compiler Definition
Language).
