Re: Should we fix warnings from GCC 2.xx?


While building GDB from CVS on my Linux machines, I saw a few warnings
like this one:


tracepoint.c: In function `trace_find_tracepoint_command':
tracepoint.c:2077: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous `else'

This warning appears with a GCC 2.8.1-based compiler, but does not
with GCC 3.0.4. Hence my question, do we want to fix these warnings
anyway?
Regardless, I don't see how it can hurt. Removes the dangling `else' problem.

I guess for a lot of warnings, the fix are quite straghtforward, like
this:
