Would it be possible? The excessive and constant warnings seem to cause problem where warnings are ignored by humans, hiding real bugs. If I understand correctly, they come from the fact that we use "softlinking", e.g. define all the symbols as weak manually, but still link to the library in a normal way? Is there a reason for this, as opposed to fully linking weakly? 1750799 1 ap 2021-04-15 15:28:45 -0700 Which project is producing these warnings? > If I understand correctly, they come from the fact that we use "softlinking" I don't see any soft linked symbols for CoreAudio in Sources/, so this is likely something else. Unless it's a 3rd party project that does it in a different way. 1751678 2 kkinnunen 2021-04-18 22:59:17 -0700 These are WebCore, I believe with iosmac build.
