I used to verify that those warnings are benign prior major releases. I even used to believe that it was mentioned in INSTALL.W64, but apparently not. Well, it's not really right thing to do. The reason for why right thing wasn't done is historical. Initially Win64 support was a kind of compromise (as mentioned in INSTALL.W64), even when it came down to time spent on it. I mean choice was between verify that they are benign now or take time doing thorough job addressing them. And since then it dragged on... It should and will be addressed, thanks for reminder. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
