<Uraeus> mclasen: any guess for a timeline for solving the glib2 -
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules issue in
fedora?

<mclasen> Uraeus: I don't know that it can be fixed
<Uraeus> mclasen: hmm, that would kill the no-warnings policy of gstreamer :(
<mclasen> Uraeus: no-warnings policies are pretty much doomed to failure 
<Uraeus> mclasen: we been able to abide by it for 3-4 years now :)
<jdahlin> Uraeus: gstreamer can always disable that particular warning.
<jdahlin> -fno-strict-aliasing
 iirc
<slomo__> Uraeus: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316221  <--- take
that patch, should make it warning clean unless you're on ppc or some other
weird architecture ;)
<bugbot> Bug 316221: normal, Normal, ---, gtkdev at gtk.org, NEW, G_LOCK warns
about breaking strict-aliasing
<slomo__> but the other warning should definitely be fixed somehow
 no idea how :)
<Uraeus> slomo__: I do not want to patch my glib, cause I would have to redo
that every time mclasen and redhat updates the system packages. So if that
patch isn't something mclasen wants to merge I assume its because its not good
enough?
