Bugzilla Bug 67038

I am gonna blame this on the headers.. but its only b0rkin on tar, so figured i
would report it anyway. Fails always, even with no cflags.

Fails like this.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..     -march=pentium4 -O2 -mfpmath=sse
-ffast-math -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb -pipe -c argp-fmtstream.c

I'll sign up for this one also... 4 affected systems with gcc-3.4.2-r2 sofar

ali3nx: dont post unrelated bugs, your bug is already fixed, see Bug 66959

this bug is because of the __THROW on those three lines ... if you remove the __THROW from the header file, tar will compile just fine ...
but that doesnt really tell me why __THROW doesnt work on those parts when it does further up in the header file :)

Removing __THROW from the header file didn't work for me. I still get the same
error message.

In the other places, "__THROWS;" expands to "throw();", which defines the function; in the three errors, there is a definition of the function below, so this does not make sense at all. I'm not a C programmer since years ago, but how does it make sense declaring a function "extern" and "__inline__", and defining it in the same declaration?

It fails here too, ppc with gcc 3.4.1-r3

Also fails on ~amd64 with the same errors:

Created an attachment (id=41554) [edit]
Removes __THROW to fix tar compile failure

requesting this go into portage.

took a patch from the gnulib cvs to fix this

i'm hurt.. you didn't take my patch....

The patch from joecool will not work for me as I already don't have __THROW in
the sections this patches. I have __THROW in a different area of this file.
What was the patch that you used from the gnulib-cvs?

are you sure?  I am positive __THROW is on 3 lines in lib/argp.h. The patch I
tested myself.

Its not the headers in /usr/include.. its the header that came with the tar
source tree.  (I made this mistake at first..).

why not sync-up and try tar again and see if it works

or that too :P.

didn't see a previous bug on this... i searched for one but found no listed
duplicates. same version *shrug* fixed now anyways =]
