[AMBER-Developers] Dealing with compiler warnings, etc.

Hi all,

I've been quietly, off and on, chipping away at a few of the compiler warnings in the Amber code - building it with "-Wall" (for C/C++ code) and "-warn all" (for Fortran code) and seeing what I get. Understandably, there are a lot of complaints, some of which (in the case of the Fortran code) cause the compilation to stop (mismatched variable types, etc). But trying to sort all that out - which involved messing around with variable declarations, assumed-shape vs. assumed-size arrays, and so forth - seemed better done in a dedicated branch than in my regular development branch.

So I started a branch for that purpose, based off the config-devel branch (whose original purpose was for improving the passing of compiler flags; this is now in the master). That branch is called "remove-warnings", for want of a better name. It's generally available for anyone who feels like tinkering in the oodles of spare time I'm sure we all have (*wry grin*).

As a side note, my understanding is that the branch "config-devel" is now surplus to requirements. But before I blow it away, is anyone else doing anything in there?

Cheers,
Ben
