I'm back to life, after a long and nice vacation. Sorry for taking a while to answer this.

I think Martin is using a more-recent version of gcc than most people here. Everyone on Windows (MSVC) sees these warnings, though.

I'm using gcc 3.3.2 here.

> Do you see any others?

Windows doesn't complain about the ones your compiler complains about; it complains about 17 others, listed here (although the line numbers have probably changed in the last 3 months ): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-October/039059.html

Ok.. it should give me an idea about where to look.

> Suggestions welcome.

Upgrade to Windows .

Next one please.. :-)

Most of those seem to come from lines of the form

SRELOCISWORD((int) ptr[-1]) : 0; [...]

Yes, that's what I reported in my first email. IMO, the compiler should not complain about it, since the char is being casted away.

[...]

when the "unsigned char" expansion of SRECHAR is in effect. I suppose that could be repaired by defining SRELOCISALNUM differently depending on how SRECHAR is defined.

That's an alternative indeed.

[...]

and SRECODE is unsigned short or unsigned long, depending on PyUNICODEWIDE. This warning is really irritating. I suppose [...] would shut it up, but that's sure ugly.

I'm trying to avoid using something ugly to avoid an ugly warning. I'll spend some time on it now that I'm back, and relaxed. :-)

Thanks.
