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
