Package: gnucash
Version: 1.9.3-1hbci1
Severity: normal
Hi,
compiling gnucash with -Wall and -Wextra brings some warnings like this:
go-gradient.c:67: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
They might come from the fact that a char is by default unsigned on
PowerPC. This means if you write
char i;
if (i < 0)
the comparison is _alway_ false. You must explicitly state that you want
a "signed char". Often a negative value is used as an error code. This
might prevent error detection and lead to strange crashes.
I can send you the output produced while building, if you are interested.
Bye, Jörg.

Actually, I'm going to close it.
1) It is not a bug (which is why I classified it as wishlist).
2) But it is also not a request for any additional feature or change
in the behavior of the program.
In the absence of any actually identified bug, it is simply a request
for the internal structure of the program to be different than it is.
