+  **UNINITIALIZED_PTR_WITH_FREE**
+    Pointers with __free attribute should be declared at the place of use
+    and initialized (see include/linux/cleanup.h). In this case
+    declarations at the top of the function rule can be relaxed. Not doing
+    so may lead to undefined behavior as the memory assigned (garbage,
+    in case not initialized) to the pointer is freed automatically when
+    the pointer goes out of scope.

+    Example::
+
+      type var __free(free_func);
+      ... // var not used, but, in future someone might add a return here
+      var = malloc(var_size);
+      ...

+    should be initialized as::
