Oh it's a bug in NetBSD, sorry for not being explicit about that: $ grep S_ISREG /usr/include/sys/stat.h #define S_ISREG(m) ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG) /* regular file */ $ grep S_ISREG /usr/include/linux/stat.h #define S_ISREG(m) (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG) I.e. GCC sees `S_IFREG | 0644 & _S_IFMT' on NetBSD but `(S_IFREG | 0644) & _S_IFMT' on Linux. Since bitwise AND (&) has precedence over bitwise OR it's probably a logic error on NetBSD too, not just an annoying warning. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
