How could defining a variable, and not using it, be a problem ?

Quoting WikiPedia: ＜＜

  An "unreferenced variable" in the source code of a computer program
  is a variable that is defined but which is never used.  ＞＞

C4700 is: uninitialized local variable 'XYZ' used.

I don't disable "C4700" warnings.
