If none of the 140 patches here fix a real bug, and there is no change to machine code then it sounds to me like a W=2 kind of a warning. I think clang is just being annoying here, but if I'm the only one who feels this way chances are I'm wrong :) _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
