But disabling this flag is not needed for non-broken compilers, so it's probably better to just blacklist the compiler, and the latest compiler with be automatically used again when the bug gets fixed.</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div>"Part B" is a question for my understanding, is this a really an Xcode/compiler issue or a problem with the source software packages?</div></div></blockquote><br><div>I would say that this is in fact an issue with the compiler. As they said, the bug has been present before, it's just that nobody noticed it until it was switched on by default. I've seen an email saying that this is likely to be fixed in one of the next Xcode updates, so it's just a matter of time.</div><br><div>I believe this affects only source code which uses some heavy optimisations, which is why you would not see it in most of the software where high performance is not crucially important for the functionality.</div><br><div>Mojca</div></div></div>
