I'm new to c and gcc. I was wondering if anyone can point me to a web page
or book that has a list of the warning messages and their meanings.
Are the warnings the same no matter what compiler you use, or are they
different for each compiler? I have looked all over the gcc web site, but I
can't find anything that explains what the warnings are.
If someone could take the time to help me out and direct me to some info
about this, I'd appriciate it.
Thanks

Yes.

I suggest you read more closely :-). I'm sure the gcc manual
has these descriptions.
No, the GCC documentation does not contain descriptions of the
diagnostic messages as such. Some diagnostics are controlled by flags
(-W*) because they are (though) less likely to really be problems, and
the descriptions of these flags do explain to some extent the meaning
of the related diagnostics, but not their exact wording.
I don't recall anyone who made a practice of actually releasing
documentation of "error" or diagnostic or similar messages but IBM
(already mentioned) and DEC.
Also, if you have some code that's producing a warning you don't
understand, you can post it here and others will probably be able
to spot the trouble. But only post enough code to demonstrate the
problem.
Yes, except the usual advice is to post the smallest "possible" (or at
least the smallest you can find) *complete* program. Posting just
excerpts of code often omits information that turns out to be vital.

I've been going through my code and clearing away some of the compiler
warnings that i'm generating and i've come across areas where i cast
pointers to integer values. The Visual Studio compiler generates this
warning ...
"warning C4311: 'type cast' : pointer truncation from 'void *' to
'DWORD'"
The warning is generated as the pointer is apparently 64 bits long
(even though a quick sizeof() reports it to only be 4 bytes in length)

Hi,
First, this may be a GCC or Linux-specific problem, I'm not sure.
I am unable to compile a large body of code with extremely pedantic
compile time checks activate, so that warnings cause errors.
With GCC 3.3.1, I do this with
gcc -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -std=c99 -pedantic -pedantic
-D_BSD_SOURCE -Wall -Wunused -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion

Hi
I observed something while coding the other day:
if I declare a character array as char s, and try to use it as any
other character array..it works perfectly fine most of the times. It
holds strings of any length. I guess what is happening here is that
this array initially holds only '\0' and hence is of length 1.
But sometimes, when I tried to write some functions and do some

Hi All,
In Visual Basic .NET , your function definition might requirre you to return
a value but (accidently/intentionally) you dont put any 'return value' in
the function.
In this case VB Compiler does not generate any warning.
Is there any way to make the compiler generate this and other obvious
warnings, is there any switch, or still VB.NET development team assumes that

Hi,
I'm trying to find the best way to work with compiler warnings. I'd
like to remove *all* warnings from the code, and playing around with
the warning level, I've noticed that compiling with /W3 I get warnings

warning #177: variable "Foo" was declared but never referenced

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
