Hello,

When building STL port (latest package from
http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html and compiler version
8.33), for the release builds I get numerous warnings such as below:





    dmc -c -o"..\build\static\release\complex_io.obj" -Ae -Ar -DSTRICT -D__B
UILDING_STLPORT -I../stlport -o+all -Nc -D_MT "complex_io.cpp"
complex_io.cpp(145) : Warning 12: variable 'bool  __do_handle_exceptions'
used b
efore set
complex_io.cpp(145) : Warning 12: variable 'bool  __do_handle_exceptions'
used b
efore set

Also, when building my project which uses STL Port, with optimizations
enabled, I get warnings for this and various other variables being used
before set. Without optimizations, none of these occur.
Is this a misconfiguration, or a problem in the compiler, and is it safe to
ignore these?

Regards,
Dimitri

Dimitri,
    I asked about "__do_handle_exceptions" warning in February, and in a
reply from Richard Grant dated February 21, he said that they are harmless.
Subsequently, I  built the STLport library, and it has run without any
problem for me.
    I have seen other posts about the optimization problem, so apparently
that is a bug in 8.33, but someone else will have to give you a more
definite answer on that question.
