Description
@paul1956 commented on [Wed Jun 08 2016](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/11880)
**Version Used**:
VS 2015 Update 2
**Steps to Reproduce**:
1. Declare Function with attribute.
```
Public Function Return6( ByRef LastErrorMessage As String) As Integer
LastErrorMessage = "None"
Return 6
End Function
```
1. Call Function
```
Six = Return6 (ReturnError)
```
**Expected Behavior**:
No Warnings, I don't want to have to assign a default value to an Out variable like ReturnError to make the warning disappear.
**Actual Behavior**:
```
Warning BC42030 Variable 'ReturnError' is passed by reference before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.
