Sort of game

Education Project Logo

Looking at binfilter log gives more than 3MB of warnings. That's the reason why, when I have time, I try to fix one or another.

The idea was to try to fix them with volunteers from Education Project. Fix warnings is a nice and sane practice. You must:

- build OpenOffice.org until binfilter (not so simple for beginners)
- build binfilter and create the log
- analize the warnings, and fix them on all archs (not that trivial sometimes)
- create a patch
- ask someone else to agree your changes
... and so on

Very pedagogical :) ... and not really dangerous because binfilter is close to be obsolete, and we could create a childworkspace for the fixes. Or not ... nobody cares in fact

If you want to play with us, I started with this patch (please tell me if some fixes are wrong, can be ), and you can join us on IRC, telling us what you want to fix. TODO : Maybe write a wiki page about that

Update: found a wiki page about that : Writing warning free code
