[Python-Dev] Python 2.6.4rc2

[Lisandro Dalcin]

I'm getting this warning. It seems nothing is actually broken, but the
fix is pretty easy.

gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes  -I.
-IInclude -I./Include   -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Objects/unicodeobject.o
Objects/unicodeobject.c
Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function 'PyUnicodeUCS2_FromFormatV':
Objects/unicodeobject.c:687: warning: pointer targets in passing
argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness
/usr/include/string.h:397: note: expected 'const char *' but argument
is of type 'unsigned char *'
Objects/unicodeobject.c:687: warning: pointer targets in passing
argument 1 of 'PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeUTF8' differ in signedness
Include/unicodeobject.h:752: note: expected 'const char *' but
argument is of type 'unsigned char *'

BTW, should Python build with a C++ compiler? It seems this is not
possible with 2.6.4rc2 (and GCC 4.4.1)
