Adding new gcc warnings

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi all,

As gcc 4.4.x is currently used for the daily generation of snapshots,
maybe we could add new warnings for "make warnings" builds.

I suggest the following flags:
-Wformat-y2k
-Winit-self
-Wold-style-definition
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wnormalized=nfc
-Wpacked
-Winline
-Wsync-nand
-Wvla


Should -Wswitch-default be added?  It implies that all switch statements
are required to have a default case, even though all possible cases
are correctly handled.


Should -Wfloat-equal be added?  Errors like these ones appear, and
I wonder whether a fix is needed.
In innd/status.c, size is a float:
  if (!size) size = 1; /* avoid divide by zero here too */

In innfeed/host.c:
  if (h->params->dynBacklogFilter != oldBacklogFilter)



-Wunreachable-code, -Wstrict-overflow=2, -Wtraditional-conversion and
-Wlogical-op give false positives, so I believe adding them is not wise.



Incidentally, a warning is triggered by -Wpacked in include/inn/dbz.h:

 typedef struct {
     char		hash[DBZ_INTERNAL_HASH_SIZE];
 } PACKED erec;

Can the PACKED attribute be removed?  I do not understand its usefulness for
a struct of only one variable.




-Wold-style-definition returns an issue in innd/icd.c:

 char *
 ICDreadactive(endp)
    char                **endp;
 {


Can it be replaced with the following definition?

 char *
 ICDreadactive(char **endp)
 {
