Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net After uptading from a December git snapshot to 2010.2 (which included moving from gcc 4.3 to 4.4), I've noticed that there are a _lot_ of warnings from the compiler: findutils/grep.c:617: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules findutils/grep.c:623: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules findutils/grep.c:626: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules findutils/grep.c:628: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules findutils/grep.c:634: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules findutils/grep.c:636: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules There are now thousands of lines like that, and I don't remember that being the case before the update. Have I broken something? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! And then we could sit at on the hoods of cars at gmail.com stop lights!
