I was convinced by [1] that this needed to be done not just for current 
version of the code but for future code being more robust initially.I 
have already done all the work and I can follow daniel's suggestion for 
the next version.Otherwise,This means then that the TODO comment to add 
that compiler warning in the makefile needs to be removed.

Also I wanted to ask since the CI bot had success with my patch.What 
does this [2] mean exactly.

Thank you for your time reviewing and helping.

Regards,
Mehdi
