Hi Danai,

When compiling wftodm.c from the latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab package, I get a bunch of warnings with GCC 13 (see also below Lucas' output). To me, these seems just fairly benign warnings based on deprecated C89 conventions.

With GCC 14 these warnings turn into errors and the build fails (as described), so these messages are not benign. They are long standing, though. On the other hand, they are just syntax errors; so people which speak C, should be able to fix them. I tried do a patch, but my C knowledge got lost over years. I tag that bug "help" for now.

With this bug report, I've been thinking: should we continue to put time and effort in a venerable but older package like CJK? Or do we keep this package as legacy, and forcefully ignore some of the warnings of the C compiler?

Let me know what you think.

Unfortunately I don't speak CJK, I've never used any of these packages. Hence I can't really say, how useful latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab is. The popcon of both package are comparable (probably b/c latex-cjk-all declares a dep on it). So, we can't simply drop it. I tend to say: let's wait for help.
