** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Builds of nspr fail in oracular due to GCC-14 standards, which raises + issues due to incompatible pointer types and function calls. + + This should be backported to Oracular to fix the pr testsuite and + simplify future package rebuilds. + + The issue is fixed by a reformatted upstream commit which fixes the type + conversions and function calls. + + [Test Plan] + + Since this is an FTBFS, the bug can be reproduced by attempting to build + in oracular. + + A successful build should show that the bug is fixed, as it both compiles testfile.c and runs the test suite that uses it during runtime with: + cd nspr/pr/tests && grep -v '^\(fdcach\|gethost\|getproto\|nblayer\|peek\|socket\|vercheck\)$' ./runtests.sh | sh - /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/nspr/dist + + [Where problems could occur] + + If problems were to occur, they would arise when running the nspr/pr + test suite. This patch modifies testfile.c, which is used by the + majority of tests to read and write data as they run. + + Due to upstream reformatting the file prior to the commit that fixes the + issue, the patch had to be cleaned up to apply against the previous + format. This could cause changes to logic if the patch were mis-applied. + + [Other Info] + + The fix should be added to Oracular as a "zero-day" SRU. + + [Original Description] + nspr currently fails to build in oracular with the following: testfile.c:126:41: error: passing argument 3 of ‘pthread_create’ from incompatible pointer type This should be fixed upstream with https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/rev/e178d3d9b47b2479f22f208d6225eda81918dae1 Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1904395 Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1075322
