We need the Variable to be entered into the outermost scope of the procedure in which the TRY appears so that it will have initialization code (assigning NIL) generated for it on entry to the procedure. Then your usage of the variable should simply check for NIL and alloca if it is, as you already appear to do here. It would be possible to have the initialization code perform the alloca but then we would have an alloca for every TRY block in a procedure even if they never execute. Probably not the best plan.</div><div><br><div><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px; "><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" color="#0000ff"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Gill Sans"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">Antony Hosking</span></span></font></font><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Gill Sans"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span>|<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; ">Associate Professor</span></span><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "> | Computer Science | Purdue University</span></span></font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="GillSans-Light"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: GillSans-Light; ">305 N.
