Dealing with compiler warnings

Post #1by ajtribick » 24.01.2009, 17:07

Compiling the qt4 version using gcc 4.3.2, I get the following warning messages:

The attached diff file solves a fair fraction of these: I didn't bother with the globular file because of Fridger's upcoming revision, and I didn't look at the qt-specific code. As for the remainder, I'm not entirely sure how to go about fixing them. The remaining warnings are

It would be nice to know whether the patch breaks anything though.

Andrew,

Thanks for cleaning up these warnings. Your change breaks the MSVC++ build, which still requires MonthAbbrList in astro.cpp. This variable needs to be #ifdef'd out rather than removed completely.

If you modify a file in which the copyright is still assigned to me, feel free to change it to Celestia Development Team.

Ok, I'm using

Code: Select all

#if !defined(__GNUC__) || defined(_WIN32)
static const char* MonthAbbrList[12] =
{ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"};
#endif


which if I'm doing the logic correctly should match the conditions of the #else block where MonthAbbrList is used. I uploaded a revised diff file into the first post in this thread.

(Somehow missed that usage, probably relying on grep -l too much)

Andrew,

nice to have considerably less warnings. Still under Linux (gcc version 4.2.1) I keep getting quite a few. By typing make >log, only the remaining warnings are printed into the console. Here is what I still get:

Forget about the one from globular.cpp. That will go once I commit my code.
