Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
"man fread" says:
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
size_t fread(size_t size, size_t n;
void ptr[restrict size * n],
size_t size, size_t n,
FILE *restrict stream);
size_t fwrite(size_t size, size_t n;
const void ptr[restrict size * n],
size_t size, size_t n,
FILE *restrict stream);
I don't know why we have the extra "size_t size, size_t n;" as the first
parameters to fread(3) and fwrite(3).
The first parameter should be "ptr".
This change has been introduced (in Debian) by this commit:
