Hello everyone,

I'm encountering a strange behavior regarding inquiry results. I'm 
working on a C program, which has a method called 'scanner_start'. This 
method performs an inquiry and reports the corresponding addresses and 
RSSI values of all results.
When I just call this method and do nothing else, it works as intended. 
However, if I do anything prior to that, I only get 'normal' inquiry 
results without RSSI.

As example, this works:
/* do nothing here */
scanner_start();
/* do something here */

whereas this fails:
/* do nothing here */
int i;
scanner_start();
/* do something here */

Below is the complete source code needed to reproduce this behavior.

I cannot really imagine, how an unused declaration can have an impact on 
the inquiry results. Does anybody have a clue, how this could be?

Thank you,
Ulrich
