Opened: 2008-02-05 21:17 0000
Description:   Opened: 2008-02-05 21:17 0000 
I've tried compiling recode for use with PHP5.2.5-r1 using
GCC-4.3.0_alpha20080201. And it said width of 'ignore' exceeds it's type. I
have however tried compiling with GCC-4.2.2 and it compiles fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install gcc-4.3.0_alpha20080201 from the toolchain overlay
2. enable ~x86
3. compile

until gcc-4.3 is portage (officially supported) we'd like bug reports to
include patches please. ;)

Patch to get recode-3.6 to compile with gcc-4.3

I made my own patch from a suggestion on the fedora-devel-list.  I haven't
actually tested it to make sure it works, but it compiles.  See:

Another patch to compile with gcc 4.3

It seems that 2 is just too much for a bool type. Replacing it with 1 compiles
fine (and should presumably yield the same result).
Sadly, I have completely no experience with C programming and this is the first
patch I have ever attempted.

I don't have gcc-4.3 at hand to check it ...
