The compiler complains about using uninitialized variables with warnings like this:
warning C4701: potentially uninitialized local variable 'XX' used

It would be nice if VA can provide refactoring command to automatically add initialization code to the declaration statements based on selection of code, multiple statements/lines would be preferable.

A similar idea has come up for creating default class constructors. The problem is, what do you initialise the variables with? If you are looking at simple built in types then this is one thing, but what about complex data types? Where do the default values come from?

It's not a bad idea, but we would need a plan to consider doing this.

Or are you talking about selecting the default value that the variable should be initialised with? You cannot select the line that generates the warning, since that is not an assignment line, so what if there is no near by code that is good for setting the default value?
