Any portable C program will cause warnings on some compilers. We aim to reduce the number of warnings, as they can indicate bugs, but just the compiler's warning alone does not mean there must be a bug on that line. Some parts of the Samba code do not cast between signed and unsigned characters - and for our purposes they are identical. This kind of thing will cause a warning. Likewise our use of 'const' may cause warnings when compiling against broken LDAP headers. Because these warnings *can* indicate bugs, we compile samba after every checkin on over 30 different compiler/arch combinations at build.samba.org, and developers are encouraged to study the compiler output presented there.
