7.6 release plans?
by H. William Welliver III 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi All, I was wondering if there were any plans to do a new 7.6 release in the near future. There's a bug that's critical for me in the .112 Mysql module that causes a segfault, that's been fixed in 7.6 CVS. Because of this, I was thinking about holding off on a release on my end if a new pike version was looming on the horizon. If not, that's okay, too, I can try to come up with a workaround. Bill

Unused variable warnings
by Martin Nilsson (Opera Mini - AFK!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 07 Jan '08

I'm not sure all the new warnings are good, at least not as default. In the case of void f(string filename) { } there might not be a choice of removing the argument. In the case of e.g. foreach(my_mapping; string name; string value) werror("%O\n", value); the unused name-variable provides possibly helpful documentation. I think what you will see in practice is that programmers will do foreach(my_mapping;; string value) werror("%O\n", value); and not foreach(my_mapping; string name; string value) { name; werror("%O\n", value); } resulting in a codebase that is harder to work with and extend.
