[Expat-discuss] RE: Obnoxious warnings from GCC

[Greg Martin]

No problem on tru64 on DEC Alpha but I was using Digital's C compiler so it probably didn't define the macro as anything. AIX 5L on PowerPC using gcc version 2.9-aix43-010414 produced the warnings as well.

Ouch!  I think this is GCC being really annoying; they seem to
generate warnings when attributes have no effect because they match
the default.  I think that's wrong, but... I'm not on the GCC crew.

That would be wonderful!
