Message-ID: <61404f5d-d1c7-047f-8a4d-5fb7e61bc04a@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)

One minor problem I just discovered with the now-released diffutils 3.8, 
a problem that was caused by my recent Gnulib changes, is that building 
diffutils on RHEL 8.4 results in diagnostics like the following:

In file included from dirname.c:25:
xalloc.h:133:3: warning: 'malloc (rpl_free)' attribute ignored on 
functions declared 'inline' [-Wattributes]
   133 |   _GL_ATTRIBUTE_ALLOC_SIZE ((1, 2)) _GL_ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL;
       |   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


These diagnostics are annoying but otherwise harmless. I just now 
installed a Gnulib patch to fix this, here:
