Some day, I'd like to replace a lot of medialib functionality with something
like the proposed Vector API. But that is far enough away that medialib needs
to be maintained, and unlike a previous discussion about a similar issue in
the JPEG library, we are on the hook for maintaining medialib.
So if there is an actual logic error in medialib, I'd prefer to fix it.
If the issue is a false positive, I'd be OK to disable the warning, but wrapped
in a platform-specific manner. So is it a real error here ?

Hi Andrew,

As noted in the issue comments, the fdlibm C code is obsolescent and eventually to be superseded by equivalent Java implementations. As for the mediaLib code being moribund I cannot speak but am copying 2d-dev which owns java.desktop.

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks Magnus,
Yes, these libraries are moribound it seems, hence their preference for compile options..
Cheers

Andrew,

If you want to make changes to the build system (files in make/*),
please always include build-dev in the reviews.

From a build point, this fix looks okay. My general preference is to
fix shady code instead of disabling warnings, but in this case it's in
two libraries that are either external or moribound, so if the
maintainer's of the respective libraries want to avoid code changes, I
accept that.

/Magnus
