Bug#303124: g++-2.95 spews out lots of warnings with glib header files

[Richard Atterer]

Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.6.3-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

compiling glib applications with g++-2.95 is possible, but the
compiler outputs a lot of warnings like this:

/usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gtype.h:431: warning: `visibility' attribute directive ignored
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gtype.h:432: warning: `visibility' attribute directive ignored
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gtype.h:433: warning: `visibility' attribute directive ignored

Apparently, this is caused by the G_GNUC_INTERNAL e.g. in gtype.h:431:
void    g_value_c_init          (void) G_GNUC_INTERNAL; /* sync with gvalue.c */

I used the following compiler switches: -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wconversion -Woverloaded-virtual -O2

The headers should suppress these warnings if the detected compiler is
gcc 2.95.

Cheers,

  Richard
