warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type

[Roland Bock <rbock@…>]

Hi,

I get several warnings about const qualifiers for boost::archive and boost::serialization:

boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:57: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:93: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:130: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp:164: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
boost/serialization/collection_size_type.hpp

In all cases, the returned type is a built-in integral type. Thus, the const qualifier is obsolete and should be removed to get rid of the warning.

Thanks and regards,

Roland

Sorry, missed one:

boost/serialization/item_version_type.hpp:39: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type

[Robert Ramey]

I believe I've fixed this in the trunk. (1.45)

Just looked into the trunk: All the reported const qualifiers are still in place.

PS: The original post failed to contain the line number for boost/serialization/collection_size_type.hpp. It is 40

I checked the fix into the trunk

I still have that one:

boost/serialization/item_version_type.hpp:39: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type

and sure enough, in the trunk header I find: operator const base_type () const

Could this be fixed for 1.45?
