Hi,
In an old project I have just started to bring up to date for panther
I
have a convention in the dealloc method to return

The dealloc method to override returns void, nothing else.

[super dealloc].

This is not only your convention, but everybody does so, since calling
[super dealloc] is explained in the documentation of the dealloc
message
(NSObject) as being mandatory in subclasses (of NSObject):

"the subclass method should incorporate superclass versions of dealloc
through a message to super"

This
is in every class, so it is generating a lot of warnings.

What sort of warnings. Could you give us a quote?

Is there a
way to suppress this warning in GCC 3.3?

Generally one shouldn't suppress warnings but remedy their cause.
