../src/gtest.cc:364: warning: missing initializer for member ‘testing::internal::MutexBase::owner_’

[Peng Yu]

I see the above warnings. Would anybody let me know how to fix it?
Thanks!

Are you using the latest gtest code?

My guess is that the error is caused by the use of -Wextra which includes the -Wmissing-field-initializers flag. See: http://code.google.com/p/googletest/source/search?q=missing-field-initializers&origq=missing-field-initializers&btnG=Search+Trunk

If you add -Wno-missing-field-initializers to your compiler flags it should work. This has already been done in gtest's own cmake scripts.

HTH,

Greg
