This is reported as PR gcc/80635 - "[8/9/10/11 regression] std::optional and
bogus -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning".
Silence the warning by using the workaround suggested here (
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80635#c53 ):
...
union
{
struct { } m_dummy;
T m_item;
+ volatile char dont_use; // Silences -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning.
};
