Hi Eugene,

I'm seeing some new warnings, after a git pull, and building golded today:

All three are cosmetic and pre-date the unicode branch. In gs_max3.h the packed attribute sits after the typedef name, so it applies to the name and every compiler drops it (gcc 15 and clang say the same).
The enum is held at 16 bits by the rsvd=32766 member anyway. The two in gs_wtr.h are the same thing twice: GroupDescRecord and UserBaseRecord are variables of anonymous structs rather than typedefs, which gcc 4.8 on Leap 42.1 reports as a type without linkage and gcc 5 and later no longer do. None of them changes the binary.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Yesterday I also tried compiling on a more modern system with gcc 15.3.0.. The gs_wtr.h warnings were indeed gone, but I got this extra one. (I don't know if this one is from before the unicode branch)

Yeah, that’s part of the original code, too. And it’s very old, so warnings are inevitable :)

Be glad you're only seeing a few or less warnings. Using GNU make with gcc 16.2.1, there are hundreds of them (a lot of the same ones over and over, though). There has always been a large number of warnings with Golded, as long as I've used it. As long as it compiles without error, it seems to work. ;)

Regards,
Nick

I'm using cmake on both the old and new system. It give only 3 warnings for the compiling fase, and a few more for the linking.

Apparently cmake surpresses a lot of warnings...

Indeed... ;-)
