I  compile with clang++ and indeed there are many warning in 2.5/3.0

 export CXX="clang++"
./autogen.sh

I propose to solve them in 3.0 trunk branch , so we don't introduce
any new bugs in the stable 2.5 branch

So if you have patches please send them to this list

with current clang on debian jessie i have this error

In file included from src/jrd/../jrd/Function.h:28:
src/jrd/../dsql/Nodes.h:508:23: error: use 'template' keyword to treat
'as' as a dependent template name
                return node ? node->as<T>() : NULL;
                                    ^
                                    template
