Well, you've already shown that you don't like to fix any of these.

It's a tiny package with only few compiler warnings. Fixing real bugs reduces
the risk that some of these issues create breakage, which leads to bug reports.

So what? Even that one would be fixed quickly:
ret[0] = '\0';


> most warnings are useful only in debug mode.

But still you quoted some which have nothing to do with debug output. E.g. the
bad sprintfs in API function xls_getfcell.  [Btw, they are not protected
against buffer overflows eithers. All the developer does is to add limited
safety by creating a static 10KiB array to be used by sprintf. That alone is
questionable practise.]


> I test the libxls in both i686(rhel) and x84_64(ubuntu), it works OK!

So, you have a test-case that tests every possible code path of libxls?
