Description D. Stimits 2001-09-10 22:30:16 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.6-pre1-xfs-4 i686)

Description of problem:
Either Xutil.h or Xlib.h must have the prototype of "parsestring" defined.
This is used in
XParseGeometry as argument 1.  Apparently the proper value is "_Xconst
char*", but it is
incorrect for user programs to have to use this format. The rpm providing
this is:
XFree86-devel-4.0.3-5

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. #include <X11/Xlib.h>
2. #include <X11/Xutil.h>
3. Declare a variable of type "parsestring".
4. Try to compile a C or C++ program based on this, probably passing the
parsestring
to XParseGeometry().
	

Actual Results:  parsestring is undefined.

Expected Results:  parsestring is defined.

Additional info:

Devel package:
XFree86-devel-4.0.3-5

Comment 1 D. Stimits 2001-09-10 22:42:35 EDT

My literature contained a typographic error, and simply did not list the type of
argument "parsestring"...the bug report can be ignored.
