Description Chris 2006-09-01 19:40:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
The functions apr_psprintf apr_pstrdup are supposed to return a char* 
pointer.  They do so under Redhat AS 4.4 32 bit, but on AS 4.4 64 bit on an 
EM64T processor, these functions return an int.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apr-0.9.4-24.5
apr-util-devel-0.9.4-21
apr-util-0.9.4-21
apr-devel-0.9.4-24.5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
where query and mystring is defined as a char*, mystring points to a valid 
string, and mypool is an allocated apr_pool_t*:
1.query = apr_psprintf( mypool, "%s\n", mystring );
2.compile the code
3.see the warning: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

for an example, on a redhat 4.4 64bit system with apache2, download this:
ftp://ftp.nerdc.ufl.edu/pub/packages/SOURCES/mod_auth_glcookie/mod_auth_glcooki
e-2.21.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mod_auth_glcookie-2.21.tar.gz
cd mod_auth_glcookie-2.21
make apache2
  
Actual results:
code won't function, and compiler warnings appear for casts to type char* from 
int

Expected results:
no warnings and the library calls return a char* just as it functions on the 
32bit AS4.4

Thanks for the report.

It appears that the module referenced has not been correctly ported to the httpd
2.x API.  It is missing #includes for apr_strings.h, for example, which would
allow the prototypes for the functions you mention to be picked up.
