Hi Andrew,

As noted in the issue comments, the fdlibm C code is obsolescent and eventually to be superseded by equivalent Java implementations. As for the mediaLib code being moribund I cannot speak but am copying 2d-dev which owns java.desktop.

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks Magnus, Yes, these libraries are moribound it seems, hence their preference for compile options.. Cheers Andrew

From a build point, this fix looks okay. My general preference is to fix shady code instead of disabling warnings, but in this case it's in two libraries that are either external or moribound, so if the maintainer's of the respective libraries want to avoid code changes, I accept that. /Magnus On 2018-08-30 14:18, Andrew Leonard wrote: > Hi Brian, > Thanks for taking a look at this, I have just done a rebuild with a new > patch with appropriate gcc disable warnings for these libraries: > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aleonard/8209786/webrev.01/ > This works fine, so if you think this is a more favourable approach for > these libraries? i'd like to get this merged please. > Thanks > Andrew > > Andrew Leonard > Java Runtimes Development > IBM Hursley > IBM United Kingdom Ltd > Phone internal: 245913, external: 01962 815913 > internet email: andrewmleonard at uk.ibm.com > > > > > From: Brian Burkhalter <brian.burkhalter at oracle.com> > To: Andrew Leonard <andrewmleonard at uk.ibm.com> > Cc: core-libs-dev at openjdk.java.net > Date: 28/08/2018 15:52 > Subject: Re: RFR JDK-8209786: gcc 7.3 compiler errors on zLinux > > > > Hi Andrew, > > It was suggested that it would be preferable to dial down the compilation > settings for the fdlibm code rather than make a source code change.
