[Geany-Devel] Plugins Quality Check

[Lex Trotman]

[...]

Well, the same as for code written by humans, the C compiler warning
is telling us something *might* be wrong with the code.  The Vala
compiler may have bugs, so such things need checking the same as
manual code, to avoid possible UB.  If, as in these cases, it seems to
be ok, then its just noise, but unless you check you don't know.

Whilst I don't agree totally (see above), thats probably better, but I
dunno how to do it either, Autotools experts please assist.

Probably, its just meaningless noise.
