Description of problem: I just tried to compile package libxml-1.8.17-9 from Redhat Fedora Core 1. The compiler said 1. parser.c(10630): warning #1011: missing return statement at end of non-void function "xmlParseBalancedChunkFile" The source code is xmlNodePtr xmlParseBalancedChunkFile(xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr node) { } Clearly wrong. Suggest add return statement, or change return type to void. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This function is empty, and is nowhere used. May be removed, or ignored.
Well, libxml1 is really deprecated code. It should be used only for binary compatibility for the few apps still using it instead of libxml2. I really don't plan to make new release for this 3 years old branch ... All new apps should use libxml2 now. That would have been in libxml2 I would have fixed it immediately in CVS, but in that case, well it's just a warning one can safely ignore, Daniel
For the record, this is still broken in Fedora Core 3. At what point does this library no longer ship with Fedora ?
FC3 is the last release where it will ship. No package should use it anymore. Daniel
