Hi, a while ago the number of warnings / notes when compiling gnulib modules increased to an extend, that it is hardly possible to check/lint for C89 compliance.
Background: We try to be compliant to C89 with the GNU Wget project (C header
+ sources). Each patch is checked by compiling the project with lot's of gcc's
warnings turned on, together with -std=c89. To provide the compiler flags,
CFLAGS environment variable is used.
Especially -Wlong-long and -pedantic floods the screen with warnings and notes
from gnulib modules. Finding any warnings emanated by Wget sources becomes
very tedious. Some example output below.
What do you suggest to avoid the verbose output from gnulib modules ?
Example output:
