When building today's (2005-01-14) gcc-trunk for different (cross-) targets on
FC3, I am seeing many (several 10ths) warnings of this kind:
...

In my understanding, this is the native gcc (gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat
3.4.2-6.fc3)) complaining about GCC-4.0.0 using "%q" as a format string.
I haven't tried, but IMO this probably results into GCC/c++ using non-functional
format strings.

Are you trying to say * 3.4.x is emitting bogus warnings? Then this is a gcc-3.4.x bug. * building 4.0.0 requires a native gcc-4.0.0? This would qualify as a serious GCC-4.0 regression. I both cases this is a bug. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|INVALID | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19447 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Basically we added more formating in 4.0.0 which are not supported at all in 3.4.0 so warning about them in 3.4.0 is useful as you know that you messed up when back porting a patch to the 3.4.0 when compiling natively. If you use an earlier version of gcc than 3.4.0, you don't get this warnings at all. The only way to fix this would depend on using the formatting warnings only for that certain version of gcc (I would assume that the formatting warnings are useful even if we don't support them in 3.4.0 because you can reconize what version you using to cross compile with). And yes you should be really using the same version to cross compile with as then it does not get confussing when something gets miscompiled (which has been known to happen in the past). -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19447 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
