From: Ramsay Jones Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:19:26 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/4] misc. msvc patches Message-ID: <4B57573E.2050006@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Hi Junio, Since we can now build git on Cygwin using msvc, I've been looking to suppress the *many* compiler warnings issued by msvc; OK I haven't been trying too hard, since Windows is not my main platform and msvc is not my primary compiler! ;-) However, every little helps... The following patches have been hanging around for several weeks, so I decided to pass them on now rather than wait until I get around to finishing the other patches. [PATCH 1/4] engine.pl: Fix a recent breakage of the buildsystem generator [PATCH 2/4] msvc: Fix an "unrecognized option" linker warning [PATCH 3/4] msvc: Fix a compiler warning due to an incorrect pointer cast [PATCH 4/4] msvc: Add a definition of NORETURN compatible with msvc compiler These patches remove 86 warnings for me (84 of those due to patch #4). I have another (small) patch which avoids 109 further warnings, but I want to provide an alternative solution; this solution is currently a 4 patch series which only removes about 60 warnings so far... ATB, Ramsay Jones
