Several warnings while compiling with MingW in Windows.

[hero2017]

I've been seeing these regularly with all the cFish updates I've tried so far, even before Numa. It compiles without error and doesn't seem to affect the engine's performance but perhaps it can lead to other problems? Tried several different versions of gcc. Compiling with MingW, and currently using gcc 6.2.0 on Win'2008 R2 Ent. and 2x E5-2696v3 . And as I mentioned before, LP doesn't work as well. I hope this helps.

In all fairness I also see some warnings when running a Stockfish Run test where it downloads and compiles a test run:

LP does not work yet "by design". I will fix this soon.
The warnings are harmless but a bit annoying. Some of them seem to be incorrectly reported by MingW. Maybe I'll just disable the -Wformat warnings in the Makefile. The array subscript warnings are incorrectly generated by gcc since gcc-4.8.

Thank you for the response. I'll wait and look forward to the fixes and let you know of any other problems if that's ok. Good job on Numa. Love it!

You can use "-Wno-array-bounds" for the gcc-4.8 array subscript warning.
