Hi, I'm having some compile warnings even when compiling very simple boost unit test code, using boost 1.39.0, gcc 4.3.2 on linux x86_64. see the source code at the end of the e-mail, but basically I get the following: g++ -pedantic -ansi -Wno-long-long -Wall -W -O2 -L/tmp/boost/lib -I/tmp/boost/include -o tests tests.cpp In file included from /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/output/compiler_log_formatter.hpp:20, from /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/impl/compiler_log_formatter.ipp:19, from /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp:18, from tests.cpp:1: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp: In instantiation of ‘boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<const char>’: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/unit_test_log_formatter.hpp:63: instantiated from here /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp:209: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp:218: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type In file included from /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp:22, from tests.cpp:1: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp: In destructor ‘boost::detail::signal_handler::~signal_handler()’: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:678: warning: missing initializer for member ‘sigaltstack::ss_sp’ /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:678: warning: missing initializer for member ‘sigaltstack::ss_flags’ /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:678: warning: missing initializer for member ‘sigaltstack::ss_size’ In file included from /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp:31, from tests.cpp:1: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp: In constructor ‘boost::unit_test::test_case_filter::single_filter::single_filter(boost::unit_test::const_string)’: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp:686: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp:701: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type /usr/include/c++/4.3/bits/stl_algo.h: In function ‘char* boost::debug::<unnamed>::prepare_window_title(const boost::debug::dbg_startup_info&)’: /usr/include/c++/4.3/bits/stl_algo.h:190: warning: array subscript is above array bounds /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp: At global scope: /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:224: warning: ‘boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_close’ defined but not used /tmp/boost/include/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:246: warning: ‘boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_small’ defined but not used the source code is as simple as the following: ----------- 8< -------- cut here ---------- #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; test_suite * init_unit_test_suite(int, char ** const) { return 0; } ----------- >8 -------- cut here ---------- is this normal?
