Package: libgstreamer0.10-dev Version: 0.10.30-1 Severity: important When building gnash, heaps and heaps of compiler warning like this show up when building in Squeeze:
/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gstutils.h:700: warning: cast from type 'const guint8*' to type 'guint8*' casts away constness /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gstutils.h:728: warning: cast from type 'const guint8*' to type 'guint8*' casts away constness /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gstutils.h:756: warning: cast from type 'const guint8*' to type 'guint8*' casts away constness A complete list of warnings can be seen in <URL: http://gnashdev.org:8010/builders/squeeze-linux-x86/builds/15/steps/compile/logs/warnings%20(332) >. To reproduce this, compile this source with lots of warning enabled: % cat x.c #include <gst/gst.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; } % gcc -W -Wall -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wpointer-arith \ -Wreturn-type -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes \ -Wstrict-prototypes $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10) \ -c x.c The cause is code like this, throwing away the constness of the input: inline static gfloat GST_READ_FLOAT_LE(const guint8 *data) { union { guint32 i; gfloat f; } u; u.i = GST_READ_UINT32_LE (data); return u.f; } Setting severity to important, as this problem make it hard to find the warnings in the gnash code. The problem do not exist in version 0.10.19-3 in Lenny. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
