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.

I had a similar problem on AIX. I patched ASIO to do roughly: #ifdef AIX (whatever the macro is) # define IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT {{WHATEVER}} #else # define AS_BEFORE #endif -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
