> Arnaud, here is the new patch for PR ada/33929 with embedded comments.
The comment is slightly misleading, since it's not GNAT but GCC that
is generating this warning (the middle-end), and the comment should also make
it clear that the warning is bogus in this case.
I'd suggest something like:
-- As designed, this procedure may leave Quotient or Remainder untouched
-- if Discard_Quotient or Discard_Remainder is True. GCC may emit a
-- misleading warning about possible use of these variables
-- uninitialized which cannot happen here, so we disable these warnings
-- using pragma Warnings (Off, xxx) which disconnects also GCC warnings.
And would also change the ChangeLog:
PR ada/33929
* uintp.adb (UI_Div_Rem): Supress warnings on Quotient and
Remainder generated by GCC.
Since the warning is not about 'not updating the variable', it's about a
possible use uninitialized in UI_Div_Rem itself:
trunk/gcc/ada/uintp.adb:171: warning: 'Quotient' may be used uninitialized in this function
OK with these changes.
