Bug 268929 – Prepare portage for gcc 4.4.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rafał Mużyło 2009-05-07 11:37:54 UTC]

Seeing as the bit I put in acpid bug seems missed,
I'll repeat the problem here.
bin/misc-functions.sh checks (among others) for
": warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules$"
however gcc 4.4.0 has an even stronger warning:
": warning: dereferencing pointer ‘<pointer name>’ does break strict-aliasing rules"
It looks like it should be added to the list of the warnings captured by portage.

Created attachment 193028 [details, diff]
patch for portage trunk

Here's a patch to add the warning to portage (applies to trunk, probably to 2.1.6 branch)

This is fixed in 2.2_rc34.

So, to keep it clean (hope nobody minds).

[Comment 6 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2009-09-19 14:30:23 UTC]

The fix isn't yet available in unmasked versions of Portage (2.1.*).

[Comment 7 Zac Medico 2009-10-11 00:46:34 UTC]

This is fixed in 2.1.7.
