    Warning: -malign-functions is obsolete ?

    Hi all,

    I am using the <bitset> library. The complier compiles correctly but returns the following warning:

    -malign-functions is obsolete, use -falign-functions

    Is there anything I can or should do about it? Also, where can I find a discription of gcc-compiler CXXFLAGS such as: -fforce-addr, -funroll-loops, and others?

    Thanks a lot,
    SK

    You can get detailed information about the -fXXXX options from the command "info gcc". Or here:
    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/ (change version number to match your compiler version).

    -fforce-addr is documented for 3.x, but seems to have been removed in the latest compiler [I suspect it's now got heuristics to determine when to use this by default].

    And you probably want to change your compile options to -falign-functions instead -malign-functions.

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
