Hi Richard Well i know that this is a list for development of gcc. Let me be more precise about my question - I am using gcc 3.4.3 (sparc-elf) to compile my codebase which uses such kind of assignments but the compiler gives no warnings what so ever. but the more recent version given below gives these warnings.
So the question now is if this is a problem for that particular version of gcc(3.4.3) where can i start to fix it.
