Now I see: It is hardware dependent. For "COMPAQ Professional
Workstation XP1000" we get these warnings for stable 9 and stable 10.
For "Digital Personal WorkStation 600au" there are no warnings.
Most of the warnings suggests gcc compiled for very large pointers making
boolean expressions on pointers unreliable.
Cause to the warnings: sloppy programmers (myself included). Not very used
to 64-bit or bigger architectures.
If you know a little C you can help by going over each warning and correct
the code. Many warnings is from conditional expressions on pointers such
as
assert(a);
where a is a pointer. This should be
asser(a != NULL);
and similarily in if expressions
if (!somepointer)
should be
if (somepointer == NULL)
etc.
Fix what you can, when unsure send the warning along with a few
surrounding source lines to squid-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and we will try to
help.
Squid-3 quite likely also needs similar massaging, but it's likely to get
stuck on a lot more as the 2GB patch has not yet got into Squid-3.
