I don't see any warnings in any configuration, unless more warning flags are added (e.g. -Wconversion, which is very noisy). We can use -Werror by default, but make it very easy to disable. For instance, we could have a configure option --disable-strict-warnings. GRUB is a bootloader; we don't want anyone's system to become unbootable because something was miscompiled. Requiring an extra step to disable warnings would tell users to be more careful. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
