Due to the lack of flow state analysis the compiler currently does not check the initialisation state of a variable before it interacts with it. Hence you can dereference and attempt to read the value of an uninitialized pointer which results in a segfault due to out of bounds memory access

This will be fixed later once flow state analysis is implemented
