Are you aware that eaf still gives a warning with the latest gcc 13 
snapshot?  There are 3 CRAN packages which no longer warn with gcc 13, 
but yours is not one of them.  And none that warn with gcc 13 but not 
gcc 12.

gcc 13 is in final bug-fixing and was expected to be released by now.

We don't have time to study maintainers' C++ code so have to let this 
pass without accepting that it is the compiler and not your fault.  We 
would like you to file a bug report specifically about your code and get 
agreement from the GCC developers that this is their bug.
