Warnings in EVIO Writer

[Albert Fabrizi]

Hello experts,

I am using the evio writer plugin and when I use the include statement:

#include "evio_writer/DEventWriterEVIO.h"

in my personal plugin, I get this very long list of warnings but the basic warning being thrown is this:

/group/halld/Software/builds/Linux_Alma9-x86_64-gcc11.5.0/evio/evio-4.4.6/Linux-x86_64/include/evioTypedefs.hxx:51:9: warning: ‘template<class> class std::auto_ptr’ is deprecated: use 'std::unique_ptr' instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations]

I haven't had any issues using the evio writer but I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention.

I copied the full warning output and put it in a text file here:

Hi Albert,

Thanks for the feedback. We do have a lot of warnings with the latest
compilers that should be addressed at some point.

Note that all of these warnings come from the EVIO package, which is
authored by people outside of GlueX (the JLab DAQ group). Maybe we
should talk to them about getting a new version at some point.

Cheers,
Sean
