Re: Combo GCC issues with bugs

["Denis Vnoukov" <imagine at rambler dot ru>]

Yes, gcvt is legacy. But there is no one Linux distribution which has no gcvt in
the world.
Moreover gcvt present into MSVC, Intel C, mingw, etc..
It is true to have gcvt with right declaration.
FD_ZERO(&read_fd); <== with -Wold-style-cast produced real bogus and suspicious
warning which looks like bug
GetTickCount64(); <== recommended part of WINAPI and must be avail via windows.h
_BitScanReverse64 and _BitScanForward64 must be with "unsigned long *":
unsigned char _BitScanForward64(
unsigned long * Index,
unsigned __int64 Mask
);
due to ms specification as well...

 The Linux man page for gcvt says, "Marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001.
 POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of gcvt(), recommending the use of
 sprintf(3) instead (though snprintf(3) may be preferable)."

 Cygwin's stdlib.h is consistent with this. It guards the declaration of gcvt
 with

 #if __XSI_VISIBLE >= 4 && __POSIX_VISIBLE < 200112

 If you really need to use gcvt, I think you probably have to #define
 _XOPEN_SOURCE to be 500. (I haven't tested this.)

 This is a consequence of the fact that gcvt hasn't been declared.

 I haven't looked at the rest of the warnings/errors in your message, but I
 suspect you can figure out the causes yourself by looking at the relevant
 headers and/or by looking at the result of preprocessing. You might also find
