Hi all,
As you might have heard already, GCC 4.6 introduced a number of new warnings. As we build the package for Debian with -Werror turned on, these would cause build failures. If you agree that these warnings should be addressed, it would be nice if you could fix them upstream. Otherwise I will introduce Debian-specific patches to work around them.
The best way to find all of them is take a look at the build log at
http://people.debian.org/~doko/tmp/werror/ppl_0.11.2-3_lsid64.buildlog
and search for -Wunused. Many of the warnings relate to ppl.hh, hence are easily fixed by changing the code it is generated from. Only a few others concern the tests.
Thanks a lot, Michael
PS.: If someone could afterwards tell me about the git commit ids that would makes things even easier :-)

Package: ppl Version: 0.11.2-3 Severity: important Tags: wheezy sid User: debian-gcc@lists.debian.org Usertags: ftbfs-gcc-4.6 ftbfs-werror
This package builds with -Werror, and GCC 4.6 triggers new warnings which will make the package fail to build. Currently a Debian patch just passes -Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable and -Wno-error=unused-but-set-parameter to avoid build failures, but this patch will be reverted with the GCC 4.6.1 release, and the severity of the report will be raised.
The full build log can be found at: http://people.debian.org/~doko/tmp/werror/ppl_0.11.2-3_lsid64.buildlog The last lines of the build log are at the end of this report.
