Errors and warnings when building 1.77 trunk

[cim]

Fixed in r5135.

In fact, neither of the two entirely separate compilers I use have a problem with it, even with warnings turned to maximum.

I use the setup provided by Another Commander, "Building trunk the easy way". Not sure what version of the GNU compiler that uses, but maybe the package should be updated. As far as I know, it hasn't been updated in a while. It comes down to time I guess, and Oolite development has precedence.

The GCC version used in the package for building Oolite for Windows is 4.3.2. Although it's not the latest version of GCC, it certainly is a fine compiler and the kind of warning mentioned above alone does not warrant any kind of update. The last time the compiler had to be updated was at the time we introduced the new JavaScript library, where the older GCC 3.4.2 version had started throwing internal compiler errors when building the core, had no support for native Obj-C exception handling and had serious problems building js32ECMAv5.dll altogether.

Changing compiler (especially for the Windows port) is not a simple task and I do not think that there is any reason for updating what we have at this moment.

Thank you AC, good to know. My main reason for asking was that there have been a few cases where errors and warnings have popped up on Windows only it seems. With that cleared I'll continue to report them as they pop up.

Getting lots of warnings similar to these when compiling r5140 on Windows.

Code: Select all

$ make debug=no

I could probably think of quite a long list. :-)

Warnings when compiling r5144 on Windows.

Fixed in r5145, I hope.

Thank you cim, no warnings when compiling r5147.

I guess I should restart my CTD tests with that version then.

Well, if you want. I've not found anything yet that might have been causing them, though, so it's unlikely to make a difference.

I just tried the much quicker-to-test nightly build and of course it crashed too...sigh. I guess this groundhog saw his shadow and has to wait another 6 weeks.

Should be fixed in r5162.
