Re: Build errors with GCC 14

[William Bader]

Hi Matěj,

I didn't realize that Jeff was still maintaining lout.

The patch from 3.40 (what I started from) to the 3.41 in your repo is 271664 lines, although I think that a lot is generated files.

I missed some of the earlier messages because I am also on a gcc mailing list, and from the subject, I thought that it was a gcc issue.

Is gcc 14 why parent.h and child.h were created?

Most of the other C code changes are similar to what I did for gcc 13 on Fedora 39.
Jeff's version comments out "Parent(family, Up(face));" in FontFace() in z37.c.

Is that because "family" is never used and Parent() has no side-effects other than updating "family"?
Does the same thing hold for "Child(z, Down(y));" in EnvReadRetrieve() in z47.c?

Regards,

William

Nothing gets lost for me. It is all on
https://git.cepl.eu/cgit/toys/lout/. I was trying very hard not
to do anything before Jeff accepts it.

Best,
