Hi,
I recently ran into a compiler warning which is enabled by default in
Solaris Studio, since HotSpot builds with warnings-as-errors this failed
the build only when I got to the Solaris build.
To catch this issue earlier for me (and a lot of others who use Linux as
their preferred development platform) I suggest that we enable the
equivalent warning for GCC.
The patch to implement the change is inined below:
diff --git a/make/linux/makefiles/gcc.make b/make/linux/makefiles/gcc.make
--- a/make/linux/makefiles/gcc.make

implicit
I've verified the change by building on all linux platforms through JPRT.
