Exactly.
And given the nature of PHP, using several dozen bucketloads of
external libraries... it is isn't realistic to eliminate all random
[irrelevant] compiler warnings.
Couple of years ago I have vague memories of "homeland security" [usa]
project, and several projects after that, offering various analyzes of
php-src.
I believe [email protected] receives such reports automatically (they
had login credentials at least).
Removing compiler warnings is (in a project like PHP) generally not a
high priority, but again, if a trusted person commits such a patch.. I
highly doubt it would get reverted.
