Are you following the instructions in the README, or are you trying to compile it yourself with your own gcc flags? gcc flags do matter. Also, which Linux distribution/version are you using? Thank you.

Thank you for reporting this. For some reason, the great G is not showing your later post that you are compiling on Gentoo.

I just tried building r1.32 on Debian 11, one of the Supported platforms with gcc version 10.2.1 and it compiled without any warnings. There are many Linux distributions, many versions of gcc, and a plethora of compilation flags that control warnings. As
newer versions of gcc generate more warnings, part of our development activity is to check those warnings, determine which are legitimate (and should be addressed) vs. those which are “check this out” (and should be suppressed with flags).

I incorrectly sent the answer to the mailing list from another email, so you did not see it.

Yes I followed instructions for gcc from README.
I'm using Calculate Linux Desktop (Gentoo based distro).
Kernel 5.10.32

As far as I remember, when compiling with an early version gcc 10.2.? (may be 10.2.1), there were also problems.

I incorrectly sent the answer to the mailing list from another email, so you did not see it.

Yes I followed instructions for gcc from README.
I'm using Calculate Linux Desktop (Gentoo based distro).
Kernel 5.10.32

As far as I remember, when compiling with an early version gcc 10.2.? (may be 10.2.1), there were also problems.

Sergey.

Hi!
Is that how it should be? Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
gcc 10.3.0

Are you following the instructions in the README, or are you trying to compile it yourself with your own gcc flags? gcc flags do matter. Also, which Linux distribution/version are you using? Thank you.

Thank you for reporting this. For some reason, the great G is not showing your later post that you are compiling on Gentoo.

I just tried building r1.32 on Debian 11, one of the Supported platforms with gcc version 10.2.1 and it compiled without any warnings. There are many Linux distributions, many versions of gcc, and a plethora of compilation flags that control

warnings. As newer versions of gcc generate more warnings, part of our development activity is to check those warnings, determine which are legitimate (and should be addressed) vs. those which are “check this out” (and should be suppressed with flags)
.

I tested compilation with gcc 10.2.0-r5. Same 10 warnings and notices.

Different versions of compilers or even the same version of a compiler on different Linux distributions may generate different warnings for the same code. In some cases the warnings are correct and we take remedial action, and in some cases the warnings
are not because there are reasons for the code being the way it is, and we have to add compiler flags to turn off a specific warning (and in some cases, if the flag is not available in an earlier version of a compiler, we may opt to not add the flag).
This is an ongoing process that never stops.

What I would ask is that when you see a warning, please do investigate whether it appears legitimate. If it does, please submit a merge request on GitLab with a fix, and if it does not and there is a compiler flag to turn if off, please submit a merge
request with the updated flag. Thank you.
