The author needs help about preload HOT 4 CLOSED

However, the ninja build system is not compatible with Meson

In the Requirements section, it is mentioned that Ninja is a supported backend of Meson. However, meson compile -C <builddir> can also be used as a backend-agnostic alternative, even though using ninja does not hurt.

One error is that they are trying to use the -Werror flag with the meson command. This flag will cause Meson to fail if there are any warnings, even if the warnings are not fatal. The author should remove the -Werror flag from their command.

Firstly, I'd like to see which part of the codebase fails to compile in the presence of -Werror.

It works.
But only use the meson build.

Otherwise if people alter your code the person will think your stuff doesn't work , because of their own coding errors.

"fail if there are any warnings"

It's actually a good flag to put.
But you know how people are :-)

It's good to hear from you ,I really like what you have accomplished with it.

That's fair. Feel free to open a pull request.

I am not planning to remove -Werror flag just because people fail to notice errors or unsafe practices in their code. If it was rust, I'd have considered it, but you know how tricky C can be when it comes to bugs.

Thank you for your kind words. It's actually Behdad Esfahbod's creation. I just upgraded and simplified some parts.

I just realised that there is nothing to remove since Meson handles it at build time.
