ev.h:560: warning: nested extern declaration of 'ev_default_loop_ptr'

[Mikhail T.]

Trying to compile a simple test-program against libev-4.15 using
gcc-4.2.1 (the base compiler on FreeBSD), I get the following compiler
warning:

    cc -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -fno-strict-aliasing -I/opt/include -Werror -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -Wsystem-headers -Wall -Wno-format-y2k -W -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wreturn-type -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wunused-parameter -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Winline -Wnested-externs -Wredundant-decls -Wold-style-definition -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-unused-function -c libev-test.c
    In file included from libev-test.c:10:
    /opt/include/ev.h: In function 'ev_default_loop_uc_':
    /opt/include/ev.h:560: warning: nested extern declaration of 'ev_default_loop_ptr'

Switching to gcc-4.8 triggers:

    libev-test.c: In function 'main':
    libev-test.c:43:2: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
      ev_io_init(&e, handler, dd, EV_WRITE|EV_READ);

which necessitates adding "-fno-strict-aliasing" to CFLAGS. Please,
advise. Thank you!
