reopen 354206 ! retitle 354206 libmhash-dev: mhash_get_hash_name invalid conversion severity 354206 normal tags 354206 = upstream stop
Using libmhash-dev 0.9.7-1 in a simple C++ test file on Etch, I get the error Daniel Schepler reported when he tried to build steghide: mhash-md5.cpp:42: error: invalid conversion from ‘uint8_t*’ to ‘char*’ This is line 42: char * name = mhash_get_hash_name(MHASH_MD5); The changelog for mhash at 0.9.6-1 mentions this bug was introduced upstream. It and later changelog entries do not say this bug is closed, so I am reopening it. I haven't found the upstream report to point this bug at. I downloaded the latest upstream package, mhash-0.9.9 with changelog entries to 2007-04-02 12:00. It's documentation still claims that mhash_get_hash_name returns a char *, yet it's return type is mutils_word8 * which is a typedef to unsigned char. I am re-opening this bug and setting the reporter to myself since I am able to reproduce it with simple code compiled with gcc 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) and the steghide package started building for Daniel so his concern in the matter has been resolved. -- Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
