patch to remove the warnings
Wan-Teh, what do you think about the proposed patch? I should probably file an upstream bug. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410677 When we next re-base to NSPR 4.8.6 we will pick-up the fix. |
Description of problem: Using nspr header gives a warning in the prlink.h file when -Wstrict-prototypes is included in the CFLAGS. And when -Werror is used, then it is not possible to compile at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nspr-devel-4.6.7-3.fc8 but the header was not changed since Apr/06/2006, so all current Fedora and RHEL versions are affected. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run the script from attachments Actual results: In file included from /usr/include/nspr4/nspr.h:55, from nspr-test.c:2: /usr/include/nspr4/prlink.h:52: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype /usr/include/nspr4/prlink.h:209: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype Expected results: No warnings Additional info: There was a thread in gcc mailing list about the meaning of the warning - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2006-07/msg00033.html
