Hi all,

Started seeing these warnings when compiling virsh:

  virsh.c: In function 'cmdRunConsole':
  virsh.c:735: warning: declaration of 'devname' shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow]
  /usr/include/stdlib.h:290: warning: shadowed declaration is here [-Wshadow]
  virsh.c: In function 'cmdConsole':
  virsh.c:765: warning: declaration of 'devname' shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow]
  /usr/include/stdlib.h:290: warning: shadowed declaration is here [-Wshadow]
  virsh.c: In function 'vshReadlineInit':
  virsh.c:11575: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Haven't looked into it yet as they're only warnings.  Anyone know if they're important enough
to look into?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
