When building GTK3 Wireshark on my Fedora system (after not having done
so for a while), I'm getting many warnings similar to the following:
CC libgtkui_a-about_dlg.o
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h:263:0,
from about_dlg.c:28:
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/deprecated/gtkstyle.h:454:43: error: identifier
"and" is a special operator name in C++ [-Werror=c++-compat]
GDK_DEPRECATED_IN_3_0_FOR(GtkStyleContext and gtk_render_background)
^
[versions: Fedora 23; GCC 5.1.1; GTK3 3.18.2]
-Wc++-compat seems to have been added in March 2013 (g557df88), so I
don't know why I'm now getting the warnings (although it's been some
number of months since I've built GTK3 Wireshark with GCC);
Warnings didn't show with previous versions of GCC compiler ?
GTK changes ??
???
I note that configure.ac has the following code to default to build with
GTK3 in certain cases:
#
# No GUI toolkits were explicitly specified; pick Qt
# and GTK+ 3.
#
with_qt=yes
with_gtk3=yes
elif test "x$with_gtk2" = "xunspecified" -a \
"x$with_gtk3" = "xunspecified" -a \
"x$with_qt" = "xno"; then
#
# Qt was explicitly disabled, and neither GTK+ 2 nor
# GTK+ 3 were explicitly specified; pick GTK+ 3.
#
with_gtk3=yes
fi
So: it seems we want to continue to support GTK3 ?
and thus it seems that the -Wc++-compat compile flag would need to be
removed when building GTK stuff or ??
(I do note that there's been a submission in Gerritt to fix a GDK/GTK
deprecation; Is this the only deprecation which needs to be fixed so
that GDK/GTK DISABLE_DEPRECATED can be usued again?
Fromconfigure.ac:
CPPFLAGS="-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED $CPPFLAGS"
if test \( $gtk_config_major_version -eq 3 -a $gtk_config_minor_version
-ge 10 \) ; then
## Allow use of deprecated & disable deprecated warnings if Gtk >= 3.10;
## The deprecations in Gtk 3.10 will not be fixed ...
CPPFLAGS="-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS $CPPFLAGS"
else
CPPFLAGS="-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED $CPPFLAGS"
fi
Comments ?
