While it appears that this is harmless, I'd recommend that you
explicitly cast your functions to (void*).  You'd actually have to do
this with pointers to integers as well.

The reason this is required is that GOptionEntry only wants (void *)
which it casts to either to the type you specified, whether it be an
integer or a function.  So it is up to you to explicitly cast, or let
the compiler do it for you.  Explicit casting is safer (prevents
mistakes).

OK, I'll do that.... time passes...

yep, the compiler (invoked as xlc_r now since this is threaded) has stopped complaining. Alas, I still segfault at the end of my test. It looks like my g_module_open()ed library may be dying right at a call to a routine that is actually in the program itself. Having just learned that doing that is not possible in a DLL under Windows I'm left wondering if there are issues with that under AIX

not knowing anything about Power assembly, but guessing, is that a wide load into r0 of something zero bytes from the address in r12?

temp = 4.1126813125747635e-314
__func__ = "update_results_and_confidence"
confidence = 1.0

what is particularly perplexing is that while there is a fflush() call above line 2828, it is inside an if{} that I know is not being executed, which means that fflush was not executed so I'm rather confused about dbx showing fflush at the end of the call chain.
