I'm getting this warning. It seems nothing is actually broken, but the fix is pretty easy.
gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -IInclude -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Objects/unicodeobject.o Objects/unicodeobject.c Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function 'PyUnicodeUCS2_FromFormatV': Objects/unicodeobject.c:687: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness /usr/include/string.h:397: note: expected 'const char *' but argument is of type 'unsigned char *' Objects/unicodeobject.c:687: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeUTF8' differ in signedness Include/unicodeobject.h:752: note: expected 'const char *' but argument is of type 'unsigned char *' BTW, should Python build with a C++ compiler? It seems this is not possible with 2.6.4rc2 (and GCC 4.4.1) On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 8:55 AM, Barry Warsaw <ba...@python.org> wrote: > On Oct 19, 2009, at 3:59 AM, Vinay Sajip wrote: > >> Barry Warsaw <barry <at> python.org> writes: >> >>> http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.4/ >> >> Good news, but just one little nit: the page above appears to link to the >> NEWS >> file for 2.6.4rc1. > > Ooops!
