Can the gcc 3.x code be cleaned up to avoid unnecessary warning messages?

["Hughes, Martin" <Martin dot Hughes at uk dot thalesgroup dot com>]

Hello,

I have been building gcc versions 3.0, 3.04 and 3.1 using gcc 2.8.1 and
2.95.3.

Native target is hppa1.0-hp-hpux10. O/S is HP-UX 10.20.

In many modules the compiler throws up warnings about the following:

	unused variables
	comparison between signed and unsigned operands
	operands being signed in ANSI C and unsigned in traditional.

Having been a programmer myself, I am surprised that the code which produces
these messages has not been cleaned up prior to release.

It is causing me particular confusion as I am trying to track down a back
end bug
which causes gcc3.0 and 3.0.4 to crash out unless -O0 is used.
This bug appears to be fixed in gcc3.1.

Could something be done about cleaning up the code to remove the warnings
before before gcc3.1.x
and gcc3.2 are released please?

Thanks
Martin Hughes
