Description of problem: I just tried to compile package unixODBC-2.2.8-6 from Redhat Fedora Core 3 Test 2. The compiler said 1. CTracing.cpp(88): warning #592: variable "szForce" is used before its value is set The source code is || ( toupper( szTracing[0] ) == 'O' && toupper( szForce[0] ) == 'N' )) Suggest init szForce[ 0] before first use. 2. convert.c(214): remark #592: variable "st" is used before its value is set The source code is setup_ts( st ); Suggest init st before first use. 3. info.c(2043): remark #592: variable "htbl_stmt" is used before its value is set The source code is PG__SQLFreeStmt(htbl_stmt, SQL_DROP); Suggest init htbl_stmt before first use. 4. info.c(2227): remark #592: variable "htbl_stmt" is used before its value is set Same again. 5. results.cpp(872): warning #267: the format string requires additional arguments The source code is sprintf( str, " interval.interval_type: %d (%s)\n", odbctest -> int_type_as_string( val.interval_type )); %d and %s, but only one following parameter. 6. results.cpp(904): warning #267: the format string requires additional arguments Duplicate. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Hmm, it looks like most of these are still in the 2.2.9 upstream release. I will consult with those guys about fixing them.
BTW, what compiler and what compiler options did you use? I cannot get gcc to warn about these things at all.
>what compiler and what compiler options did you use? I used Intel's compiler with -Wall option. A much better compiler than gcc, IMHO. >I cannot get gcc to warn about these things at all. So if the gcc cannot find the bugs, are they not a bug ? Intel's icc can find them.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
