Hi all,

<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=56995> shows the following problem: On compilers later than the GCC 3.4.1 we use at Hamburg (e.g., GCC 4.0.2, but from looking at the documentation also GCC 3.4.4), -Wall implies a new -Wnon-virtual-dtor which warns about classes with virtual functions that do not have a virtual destructor.

On such compilers, this warning will occur for each idlc-generated UNO header (com/sun/star/uno/XInterface.hpp etc.). For reasons of compatibility, it is not an option to change those idlc-generated headers and add a virtual destructor to them.

Thus, we can either switch off -Wnon-virtual-dtor globally, or switch off *all* warnings from within idlc-generated headers (#pragma GCC system_header). The second option is probably preferable, as -Wnon-virtual-dtor might point to real issues in other places of the code base, and it is unlikely that there would be other warnings from any idlc-generated header that we would thus suppress---the idlc-generated headers are pretty boiler-plate.

Opinions?

-Stephan
