Hi all:
I am not familiar with Cython, but have spent a few weeks looking at compiler warnings posted when the mathematical package called "sage v9.4" is compiled, which takes several hours to build, since hundreds of code units are invovled in this massive build project.
I logged 341 errors during the cythonizing part of the compile run, and found 110 code units (C packages) which I was able to fix so that the recompile would have no warnings. The warnings were legitimate.
There are 4 categories of these warnings.
1. Using an unitialized variable with an unknown value
2. Comparing signed and unsigned variables
3. Discarding a const specifier to a variable upon use elsewhere in the code
4. Coercing a pointer to a variable of the wrong type (or vice versa)
I did speak to one knowledgable person about this, but my question is this
a) do I submit 341 bug reports covering all the warnings?
b) since 110 code units were affected do I file 110 bug reports for each code unit?
b) do I submit just one bug report for each of the 4 categories above, thus just 4 bug reports?
c) do I just list all the warning messages obtained from the massive build run so everyone can get some idea of the problems being faced?
I did look at the C code and the pyx code generating it and definitely cython is the origination here of these issues.
Since I am NOT yet familiar with cython from scratch, at the moment I am at a loss to write litte tiny programs illustrating the problem.
What do you recommend?
Randall
