Two points:

TBH, I'd be a bit wary of this considering the recent fallout from silencing
compiler warnings. Can you try to address this instead please?

E.g. OpenJDK-8 has very similar code, so should be possible?

Also, I have gcc 7.3, yet I don't see that error. Is there something else
happening?


Cheers,
