Question: What's the lowest and highest gcc version used for SWELL? I have used it up to 11 with no issues but 12 is a different story. Not in a hurry to move to a newer version but it would be nice to know which versions are being used during development. Thanks

    Pretty sure it should compile with 12 and 13, perhaps using make ALLOW_WARNINGS=1 to ignore any warnings. (probably should make ALLOW_WARNINGS=1 the default)

    Hmm, for releases I use Debian 7 (gcc 4.7.2), with plans to move to Slackware 14.x at some point. Although the development machine is fairly recent Slackware 15 (gcc 11) or Debian 12 (gcc 12). Looks like Debian 12 finds one out-of-bounds array access and some prototypes related to sorting does not match with the recent changes to WDL_PtrList. All pointing to SWELL. I will try to investigate further when it becomes urgent, right now I just wanted to let you know in case it wasn't under your radar...

    The out-of-bounds array error is present with SWELL's makefile as-is. The WDL_PtrList errors are related to my own makefile for SWELL so it might be my fault, even thought I have updated my codebase with recent WDL_PtrList changes. Anyway, all errors point to SWELL codebase regardless... that's the weird thing.

    ah yeah, gcc 12 gives that warning/error here, but not gcc 13. At any case, it's a false positive warning.

  • Posted by Justin on November 12 2024, 8:27pm:
    anyway, we should have swell enable ALLOW_WARNINGS=1 by default

    Okay, Justin.
