Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined behaviour as the memory assigned(randomly) to the pointer is freed automatically when the pointer goes out of scope
tee doesn't have any bugs related to this as of now, but it is better to initialize and assign pointers with `__free` attr in one statement to ensure proper scope-based cleanup
