gcc 4.4 Warning: inline ... declared as dllimport: attribute ignored

[viboes]

The following warnings appears on gcc4.4 mingw:

gcc.compile.c++ ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\thread\test\test_thread_id.test\gcc-mingw-4.4.0\debug\threading-multi\test_thread_id.o In file included from ..\..\../boost/thread/win32/thread_data.hpp:12,

from ..\..\../boost/thread/thread.hpp:15, from test_thread_id.cpp:5:

..\..\../boost/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:59: warning: inline function 'void* boost::detail::allocate_raw_heap_memory(unsigned int)' declared as dllimport: attribute ignored ..\..\../boost/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:69: warning: inline function 'void boost::detail::free_raw_heap_memory(void*)' declared as dllimport: attribute ignored

Can a inline function be declared as dllimport?

Component thread is one of the two boost components which generates warnings when compiled in MinGW/MSYS with gcc-4.5.2:

     11 ./boost/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:59:40: warning: inline function 'void* boost::detail::allocate_raw_heap_memory(unsigned int)' declared as  dllimport: attribute ignored
     11 ./boost/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:69:39: warning: inline function 'void boost::detail::free_raw_heap_memory(void*)' declared as  dllimport: attribute ignored

     10 ./boost/thread/win32/shared_mutex.hpp:51:52: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

The preceding numbers are the numbers of occurrence.
I am sorry that this one is not solved for more than one year.

Hi I'm new to boost and am writing a basic asio app as a learning exercise. Should I be worried about these warnings? do they represent genuine issues?
