Hello please review this patch . It fixes a couple of xlc16/xlclang warnings , especially comparison of distinct pointer types and string literal conversion warnings .
When building with xlc16/xlclang, we still have a couple of warnings that have to be fixed : warning: ISO C++11 does not allow conversion from string literal to 'char *' [-Wwritable-strings] for example : /nightly/jdk/src/hotspot/os/aix/libodm_aix.cpp:81:18: warning: ISO C++11 does not allow conversion from string literal to 'char *' [-Wwritable-strings] odmWrapper odm("product", "/usr/lib/objrepos"); // could also use "lpp" ^ /nightly/jdk/src/hotspot/os/aix/libodm_aix.cpp:81:29: warning: ISO C++11 does not allow conversion from string literal to 'char *' [-Wwritable-strings] odmWrapper odm("product", "/usr/lib/objrepos"); // could also use "lpp" ^ warning: comparison of distinct pointer types, for example : /nightly/jdk/src/java.desktop/aix/native/libawt/porting_aix.c:50:14: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types ('void *' and 'char *') [-Wcompare-distinct-pointer-types] addr < (((char*)p->ldinfo_textorg) + p->ldinfo_textsize)) { ~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bug/webrev : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8228482 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mbaesken/webrevs/8228482.1/ Thanks, Matthias
