Adding blocking relationship to BZ 2127507 (the Change tracker)

Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2022-09-20 17:15:13 UTC
Ported to pcre2 in EMBOSS-6.6.0-22.fc38

Comment 3 Greg Trounson 2023-08-25 03:52:07 UTC
With the EMBOSS-6.6.0-pcre2.patch included we get most (all?) EMBOSS programs producing a Segmentation fault (core dumped). During the build I see the following warnings:

ajreg.c:157:81: warning: passing argument 4 of 'pcre2_compile_8' from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
     ret->pcre = pcre2_compile((PCRE2_SPTR)rexp, PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED, options, &errptr, &errpos, tableptr);
                                                                                 ^~~~~~~

Would it be possible for this be looked at again? We're happy to run without the patch here for now...

The crash was also failed as bug 2242051. GCC 14 will refuse to build EMBOSS because of related type errors.
