------- Comment #8 from Zachary_Deretsky at mentor dot com 2010-02-18 20:50 ------- With -Wconversion for the assignment to bitfields gcc 4.4.2 gives a warning, which is impossible to fix.
This BUG (I hope everybody agrees it is a BUG) gives us a lot of trouble while porting our code (45 developers, 7 year history) from 4.2.4 to 4.4.2 We spent a lot of effort to make our code clean with -Wshadow -Wconversion -Wall -Werror flags and now our only choice is to remove -Wconversion. Please assign and fix this ASAP. Thank you, Zach. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39170
