A past example are the signed warnings pre-releases of gcc 3.3 (including the pre-release a stable SuSE release shipped as compiler...) emitted with -Wall that were no longer emitted in the final gcc 3.3 release. Altogether, new warnings in gcc 4.0 might be a nice diagnostics for the people who are also trying to find bugs using -W, but I don't see urgent reasons for fixing them before gcc 4.0 is actually released. > -Andi cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
