Looking at those flags, several of them are erroring about things that have been deprecated since before I was born. If you're going to complain that it's breaking old code, I have to ask why this code is simultaneously important enough to you to use a modern compiler with modern flags to build it and not important enough to bother changing for 30 years.
- hulitu 3y ago> things that have been deprecated since before I was born. You must be very young. Breaking compilation is not a sign of maturity. See Rust for details.
- gizmo686 3y agoRust is 9 years old. By programming language standards, it is the new kid around the block. C is over 50 years old. Python is 30. Haskell 35 Java 30
- mid-kid 3y agoPlenty of software broke as a result of these flags, gentoo has a tracker here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=870412&hide_resolved=1 https://bugs.gentoo.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=870412&hid... As per my own experiences so far, we maintain an older version of GCC for matching GBA decompilation projects, which exhibits compilation errors now.
