Package: vflib3 Version: 3.6.14-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Usertags: implicit-pointer-conversion
Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that is likely to cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64. This is often due to a missing function prototype definition. For more information, see [2]. Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkvfl.c:147 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmktex.c:137 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkgf.c:119 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkpk.c:119 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmktfm.c:117 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkvf.c:134 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkt1.c:183 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkpcf.c:112 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkttf.c:115 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkekan.c:112 Function `strdup' implicitly converted to pointer at vflmkajt.c:165 The strdup prototype is not available from string.h when compiling with -ansi. You can add -D_GNU_SOURCE to the CFLAGS to re-enable it.
