Quartus compilation warnings

When I compile a Quartus project, with a nios system, I always have a lot of warnings like the following ones.

I've never had any problem with the designs; everything works perfectly. However I wonder if these warnings are normal or if I have some problem in project settings. 

Warning (10542): VHDL Variable Declaration warning at altera_europa_support_lib.vhd(340): used initial value expression for variable "arg_copy" because variable was never assigned a value

Warning: Using design file TSE_NIOS_clock_2.vhd, which is not specified as a design file for the current project, but contains definitions for 10 design units and 5 entities in project
    Info: Found design unit 1: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_edge_to_pulse-europa
    Info: Found design unit 2: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_slave_FSM-europa
    Info: Found design unit 3: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_master_FSM-europa
    Info: Found design unit 4: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_bit_pipe-europa
    Info: Found design unit 5: TSE_NIOS_clock_2-europa
    Info: Found entity 1: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_edge_to_pulse
    Info: Found entity 2: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_slave_FSM
    Info: Found entity 3: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_master_FSM
    Info: Found entity 4: TSE_NIOS_clock_2_bit_pipe
    Info: Found entity 5: TSE_NIOS_clock_2

Regards

Cris

    Go to Project -> Add Files and explicitly add your source files. Right now it is implicitly reading in files, which obviously opens you up to possible problems. (That being said, I would estimate half the designs I see implicitly read in files and they're fine with it, so you really don't have to worry about it as long as you understand it.)

    Unfortunately these warnings are normal.

    I file a bug with Altera a while ago about them and got a response they'd be fixed in a new release sometime...

    You can patch the code for the first one yourself.

    The second one you can add the files yourself but if you change anything in sopc you'll be out of sync.

    SOPC builder needs to be updated to properly add all the file to the project.
