[Python-Dev] 2.3.3 Compilation warnings...

[Troels Therkelsen]

Hey all,

I don't know what the policy on compilation warnings are with the
development of Python, but I'd imagine that it's "no warnings".

I get the following warnings:

gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -
I. -I./Include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Python/errors.o Python/errors.c
Python/errors.c:602: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype

gcc -pthread  -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python \
                Modules/python.o \
                libpython2.3.a -lpthread -ldl  -lutil   -lm
libpython2.3.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tmpnam':
/usr/local/src/Python-2.3.3/./Modules/posixmodule.c:5833: the use of `tmpnam_r'
is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
libpython2.3.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tempnam':
/usr/local/src/Python-2.3.3/./Modules/posixmodule.c:5788: the use of `tempnam'
is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

building 'readline' extension
gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasin
g -I. -I/usr/local/src/Python-2.3.3/./Include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/

/usr/local/src/Python-2.3.3/Modules/readline.c: In function `flex_complete':
/usr/local/src/Python-2.3.3/Modules/readline.c:583: warning: implicit
declaration of function `completion_matches'
/usr/local/src/Python-2.3.3/Modules/readline.c:583: warning: return makes
pointer from integer without a cast

I guess the warnings in posixmodule has always been there, I just
haven't been paying much attention to it and I thought I might just
as well report all warnings.
