[Bug c/29739] -Wconversion produces invalid warnings.




------- Comment #7 from lopezibanez at gmail dot com  2006-11-06 19:51 -------
I think 4.3 will be released on 2007 or early 2008. Fixing bugs on 4.2 and 4.3
will speed up things, of course. 

In addition, anyone could take the patches and apply them to their preferred
stable version. I think they will apply more or less cleanly to any 4.X
version.

On the other hand, there is no issue at all in the sense that Wconversion works
as documented and it was probably very useful when it was implemented. Now, the
desire for a "different" Wconversion has been acknowledged by GCC developers
since a long long time ago and they would have welcomed any implementation the
very same day that you opened your bug. Just nobody (not only GCC devs, I mean
no person on earth, not even you) had enough free time, resources or interest
to implement it or they had higher priorities.

Finally, I understand your frustration. I have done the same when I have been
frustrated with software. (I may still do it sometimes without being fully
aware and I always regret it) But I have learnt that negative comments (such as
#6) are pointless, on the contrary, they tend to hurt and offend developers
that have put endless nights, tears and blood on it. Even if you are completely
right and correct, offending someone before asking for a favour simply doesn't
work.
