5.24 problems on compiling dictionary

ROOT
1

Hi,

using root 5.24 and gcc 4.1.2 20080704 I’m getting a warning from the (by root created) Dictionary.cc:
rDictionary.cc:3832: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
This warning doesn’t result in any errors afterwards and the program seems to be running quite fine, but I’m curious what might have caused this warning (and I couldn’t find any relevant information on this topic).

Hi,

This is due to a tweak in the dictionary format/content. You can indeed ignore this warning.

Cheers,
