The 'extent_type' variable does seem to be reliably initialized, but
it's _very_ non-obvious, since there's a "goto next" case that jumps
over the normal initialization. That will then always trigger the
"start >= extent_end" test, which will end up never falling through to
the use of that variable.
But the code is certainly not obvious, and the compiler warning looks
reasonable. Make 'extent_type' an int, and initialize it to an invalid
negative value, which seems to be the common pattern in other places.
