Thanks for the reference to FreeBSD_HEAD_amd64_gcc4.9/631/consoleFull . It is interesting to see. Type-punned pointer vs. strict-aliasing leaves me more worried about source-code-assumption vs. code-generator-assumption mismatches. Many warnings/errors are more like initialized-but-unused and various others that I did not mention. Since powerpc64-xtoolchain and its powerpc64-gcc are gcc5.2 based these days it might give more warnings/errors than gcc4.9 or earlier. (I've not checked.) I switched to use NO_WERROR (and WERROR) after I sent in the note and had looked at some of the other generated warnings/errors. === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net On 2015-Oct-9, at 4:58 PM, Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@crodrigues.org> wrote: On Sun, Oct 4, 2015 at 4:06 AM, Mark Millard <markmi@dsl-only.net <mailto:markmi@dsl-only.net>> wrote: /usr/src/lib/libc/db/btree/bt_split.c:548:7: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing] bt_preserve(t, *(pgno_t *)bl->bytes) == RET_ERROR) You will get many of these warnings all over the codebase. You should add NO_WERROR= to your make invocation, or put NO_WERROR= in make.conf.
