Emil, can you please silence the compiler somehow? We seem to waste time arguing about it on a regular basis. I've attached a patch that uses #pragma GCC system_header
From my understanding of this pragma, it turns off all warnings from the header. Maybe I'm being incredibly dumb, but isn't this a rather shotgun approach to the problem? What if, by some chance, the header is edited at some later stage and an issue is introduced that would have generated (valid) warnings?
I'm not arguing one way or the other with regards this particular warning (or this particular header), but this pragma seems to be a particularly good way of introducing a delayed "shot in the foot" - probably for somebody else. Phil -- Phil Richards, <news@derived-software.ltd.uk>
