Follow-up Comment #5, bug #65537 (group make):
[comment #0 original submission:]
> I don't understand the macro guard there. Why would Paul Eggert want to
avoid using the pragma in the half-open region between gcc 4.4 and gcc 5,
while using it for the half-open region from gcc 4.0 to gcc 4.4?
If you're talking about this code:
/* Pacify GCC 13.2 in some calls to _GL_EXPR_SIGNED. */
#if defined __GNUC__ && 4 < __GNUC__ + (3 <= __GNUC_MINOR__)
# pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wtype-limits"
#endif
This uses the pragma in GCC 4.3 and later because GCC 4.2 and earlier doesn't
support "#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored" and issues a diagnostic about it.
With the above code in place, you shouldn't need to put -Wno-error=type-limits
into MAKE_CFLAGS. If you're still getting a diagnostic with the above code in
place and with MAKE_CFLAGS unchanged from Git, please investigate why the
above code doesn't suppress -Wtype-limits.
