What compiler version is producing all these warnings?  Is it clang 3.7?

Jonathan,
      Are the warnings of the form...

significant? These seem to be generated from the macro definition...

#define MIN_MAX_COMPXCHG_CPT(TYPE_ID,OP_ID,TYPE,BITS,OP,GOMP_FLAG)         \
ATOMIC_BEGIN_CPT(TYPE_ID,OP_ID,TYPE,TYPE)                                  \

    if ( *lhs OP rhs ) {                                                   \
