Package: clang Version: 1:3.0-6.2 Severity: minor clang issues a warning when GCC's self-initialization trick as described on http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36296#c3 is used. This is a bug a clang claims GNUC compatibility. See the following testcase.
int foo (void); void bar (int); void f (void) { int init = 0; #if defined(__GNUC__) int x = x; #else int x; #endif while (1) { if (init == 0) { x = foo (); init = 2; } bar (x); } } Here, GCC's trick is necessary to avoid a warning with GCC. This is protected with the "#if defined(__GNUC__)". Unfortunately clang defines __GNUC__ and doesn't support this trick, which has the effect to issue a warning instead of avoiding one. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages clang depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libclang-common-dev 1:3.3~svn177638-1 ii libffi5 3.0.10-3 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libllvm3.0 3.0-10 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6-4.6-dev 4.6.3-15 Versions of packages clang recommends: ii llvm-3.0-dev 3.0-10 ii python 2.7.3-4 clang suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
