Request Removal of linker WARNING message when linking with NEWLIB
Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2023 6:34 pm
Currently the following message are generated to STDERR:
Is there still a need for these? I can imagine that during the link phase it is not possible to get the version number of newlib.library. I cannot remember these messages coming out before in older versions of newlib. I think that by now everyone is on a version greater than those requested.
Still, I can see why they may be useful - but I am not sure the usefulness outweighs the annoyance of seeing them. I mean, why only warning for these functions? There are stubs all over the place that perform nothing but a return statement.
Thank you.
