Hello, I am worried about the following warning that is given when compiling roscpp programs which contains a publisher:
/opt/ros/groovy/include/ros/publisher.h: In member function ‘void ros::Publisher::publish(const M&) const [with M = geometry_msgs::PoseStamped]’:
/opt/ros/groovy/include/ros/publisher.h:112: warning: comparison with string literal results in unspecified behaviour
The publisher:
ros::Publisher goalPub = this->n.advertise<geometry_msgs::PoseStamped>("move_base_simple/goal", 1);
geometry_msgs::PoseStamped msg;
msg.header.frame_id = "/map";
msg.header.stamp = ros::Time::now();
msg.pose.position.x=mygoal.x;
msg.pose.position.y=mygoal.y;
msg.pose.orientation=tf::createQuaternionMsgFromYaw(angle);
goalPub.publish(msg);
But the warning is given for all the publishers:
ros::Publisher cmdPub = this->n.advertise<geometry_msgs::Twist>("cmd_vel", 1);
cmdPub.publish(msg);
My machine is ubuntu 12.10 with the latest version of ros-groovy and gcc 4.4.7.
Is this warning dangeours? is it being adresses? is it considered a 'bug'? if so, where can I open a ticket for it?

Would you please add the code invoking publish(), by editing your question?

It might be that the compile gets more verbose about warnings with later versions, but are you sure you are using 4.4.7? On Oneiric I already have 4.6.1.

Yes, I had to downgrade to able to compile something... (CUDA maybe?)
