Compilation warning with clang 3.5.1

MacOSX and iOS

Hi,

 

I'm cross compiling juce for osx on linux using clang 3.5.1.

I get this compiler warning, which seems correct to me, but I don't know objective c or osx programming very well:

It's far from from unlikely that my compilation options are wrong (they are based on the result of running "xcodebuild -verbose"), so I would also appreciate to know if this warning is completely wrong.

 

Thanks

What compiler flags did you enable in order to get that warning?

3

I think I posted all the compiler flags...

 

EDIT:  BTW. "o64-clang" is the clang cross compiler (https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross)

Yes, I should have said "which are the relevant compiler flags?" Because I've tried enabled all kinds of warning flags, but haven't ever seen that warning.

5

Oh. The relevant compilation flag is "-Wtautological-pointer-compare", which is a new warning in clang 3.5:

http://llvm.org/releases/3.5.0/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

I think it's enabled with -Wall. (It's actually written in the console output I posted that the warning was caused by "-Wtautological-pointer-compare", but I guess it's hard to see in the wall of text .)

Ok, thanks, I'll add that to my warnings list!
