I'm new to boost and am looking for a bit of advice if possible.
asio/ip/address_v6.hpp lines 58 & 355 yield the following compiler warnings when flag -Wmissing-braces (which is enabled by -Wall) is set:
missing braces around initializer for 'u_char [16]' missing braces around initializer for 'in6_addr::<anonymous union>'
These can be avoided by amending e.g. line 58 from
boost::asio::detail::in6_addr_type tmp_addr = IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT;
to
boost::asio::detail::in6_addr_type tmp_addr = {{IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT}};
Is this worth submitting a bug report and patch for this, or not?
Asio is using IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT correctly. Such a "fix" will break on any platform for which IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT is defined sanely. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
