Yes, it works with SE -0.74b7 as well.

Yes, I get these warnings as well. It is definitely a problem
with the C code generated by the Eiffel compiler. I reported
that to D. Colnet 2 years ago, but with no success apparently.
Anyway, they are just warnings, the generated executable is OK.

Yes, with 5.0 new warnings appeared with the C code generated
by ISE.

But for these C compilation warnings (both from SE and ISE),
I think that it is an Eiffel compiler issue with the C code
they generate. There is nothing we can do from the Gobo Eiffel
code side.

BTW, did you find out whether there was another 'geyacc.exe'
in your path which was called during the bootstrap and was
causing the VCCH errors? With SmallEiffel you probably don't
get these errors because ... the compiler doesn't check them.
