Thread: Compiler warnings fix

Here is a patch to surpress compiler warnings in pg_locale.c and pg_regress.c.

There are following warnings if nls is enabled:
    pg_locale.c: In function `pg_perm_setlocale':
    pg_locale.c:161: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
and if nls is disabled:
    pg_locale.c:615: warning: 'IsoLocaleName' defined but not used

There is also a warning in pg_regress.c:
    pg_regress.c: In function `wait_for_tests':
    pg_regress.c:1367: warning: passing arg 2 of `GetExitCodeProcess' from incompatible pointer type

Which platform, which compiler, what configure options?

It is in mingw, gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3).

There are same warning on vaquita in buildfarm.

Wouldn't we be better off using defined(ENABLE_NLS) instead of 
defined(LC_MESSAGES) ?

cheers

No, because the purpose of that #if is to prevent choking on the
references to LC_MESSAGES if it's not defined.  Whether ENABLE_NLS
is defined is 100% orthogonal to that.

Given the current usage it seems that the only way to avoid the
"'IsoLocaleName' defined but not used" warning is to compile it
conditionally on LC_MESSAGES as well as WIN32.  I agree that's
kind of ugly, but that's what the usage is.

Applied (as two separate patches since I missed that there were two
files initially).

I agree with other comments that #ifdef:ing on LC_MESSAGES may not be
the greatest-looking solution, but the code that calls it is ifdef:ed
that way, so mimicking that seems like the right thing to do at this time.
