[Gluster-devel] Fedora users: upgrade to Fedora 22

[Kaleb KEITHLEY]

I have knowledge that more than one of our Gluster developers are still 
using Fedora 19 (or earlier?) for their development work.

This is bad for many reasons, but perhaps the worst one is that Fedora 
22 ships with gcc-5.1.x. which now defaults to newer versions of the C 
standard among other things.

One of the practices our developers have that's routinely breaking 
things is the use of 'inline'.  Using inline has some subtle traps, e.g. 
using alloca(), and we just shouldn't generally be using it. I.e. we 
shouldn't be using inline.

The use of inline with gcc-5 is producing other bugs too. Sometimes 
these are compile errors, and worse, some of them are run-time errors 
(like unresolved symbols and core dumps) that are somehow not being seen 
or worse, ignored, during development.

Please find half an hour and use fedup to update your development box.

And if you're using an old version of Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, the 
same is also true, even if the newer version doesn't have gcc-5 yet.
