Sure that's why the warning is there. But you ignore the point that the same code compiled fine and ran fine for years without problems. > Once again... we should discuss to leave -Werror when policy of > upstream to have no warnings and is maintaining that policy properly > while we at downstream may cooperate and avoid patching upstream but > discuss issues when found.

Don't do that. --=20 Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level --KlAEzMkarCnErv5Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEELUvHd/Gtp7LaU1vuzpXahU5EQpMFAluajmAACgkQzpXahU5E QpM/Rwf+NoUOoB87AN62ttdFZ7OHDDgaflZMtSp2GMMvuWMDM209JiubdZPW/pWo s8JqPgMi/G2CuUnGwGlCqwpqmZc5FANx6jGo8hzUp6RBKzWvQL5dGWnVPmgJNWXC hVGIV3jMcqP5CG9dL+XihNboTDtpSDDKCr+q43lc9HHtvtpQDZACGZyGfpoIAzzw thq/LXbaHMQy294ApwgZPGTXgVp9TS7h6WUyR/Zr+AoB/ALeARSxBgFx41FIy7AV 5P2/auohtqrtp2nhQYjtJP1SvZovEZvoyr0g0u7xm9kPURYhTcBTgHmWFCVpDNzz oAUYbtnn3zwnH3gx4wagk13qJqmd8g== =q8nF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KlAEzMkarCnErv5Q--
