It is a question of code quality. For some of us, ensuring the code build without any warning is a mean to raise the quality of the code. The compiler warnings are almost always caused by bad code quality or problems that only affect some architectures. In this case, the error is real and visible to the user, as the string printed will not reflect the value of the variable. It is a lot better to get a build error than building binaries that do not work as intended. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
