New submission from Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh.poyare...@gmail.com>:
gcc 8 has added a new warning heuristic to detect invalid function casts and a stock python build seems to hit that warning quite often. The most common is the cast of a METH_NOARGS function (that uses just one argument) to a PyCFunction. The fix is pretty simple but needs to be applied widely. I'm slowly knocking them off in my spare time; WIP here, which has a few other types of warnings mixed in that I'll sift out during submission and also create separate bug reports for: https://github.com/siddhesh/cpython/tree/func-cast I'll clean up and post PR(s) once I am done but I figured I should file this report first since it is a pretty big change in terms of number of files touched and wanted to be sure that I'm making changes the way the community prefers. ---------- components: Build messages: 313317 nosy: siddhesh priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8 for METH_NOARGS type: compile error _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
