Not yet - I've not got all your changes merged in. I know that you fixed warnings in later changes. Once they're all merged in, then it would be useful to work out what remains to be done to get maint warning free once more. One thing I did notice on blead was that if I Configure with -Accflags='-ansi -pedantic -DPERL_GCC_PEDANTIC' then I'm getting warnings about function pointer to data pointer conversions in (at least) toke.c and sv.c, and a lot from intrpvar.h, perlvars.h and thrdvar.h "ISO C forbids conversion of function pointer to object pointer type" Oh, and this: op.c: In function `Perl_newXS': op.c:4628: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type I don't think that glibc has clean enough headers to allow perl to compile with -ansi -pedantic on Linux - I was doing it on FreeBSD, which does. So now I want valgrind dtrace gdb that works with threads *and* clean system headers all on the same platform. Is this too much to ask? (What are the system headers like on Solaris x86? Is anyone porting valgrind to it? This seems like the path of least resistance) Nicholas Clark
