New submission from Skip Montanaro: Makefile.pre defines BASECFLAGS to include -Wunreachable-code. When building in the Linux environment available to me (GCC 4.4.6), compilation spews tons of warnings about "warning: will never be executed". According to this StackOverflow thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14591778/ that flag was always broken in GCC and was eventually removed in 4.5. Maybe we should dispense with it when building Python, at least unless requested by the user. ---------- components: Build messages: 244377 nosy: skip.montanaro priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Remove -Wunreachable-code flag type: compile error versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24324> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
