[New-bugs-announce] [issue5755] "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++"

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

New submission from Zooko O'Whielacronx <zooko at zooko.com>:

A user of the Tahoe-LAFS project submitted a bug report to us, saying:

"""
I get lots of "cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-
prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++" when compiling
"""

A little googling shows that this gets reported frequently to other 
Python projects that have C++ code:

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/425
http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-
users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg03947.html

Those other projects seem to think that this is distutils's problem, but 
I don't see evidence that any of them opened a ticket for distutils yet.
