Bug 309281 – dev-perl/XML-GDOME (`xmlXPathCastNodeToString' implicitly converted to pointer)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2010-03-13 17:24:09 UTC]

I am going to mask dev-perl/XML-GDOME for removal soon.

Not needed by any other package in the tree, no releases for six years and it fails:


 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.
 * GDOME.xs:628: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘xmlXPathCastNodeToString’
 * GDOME.xs:1116: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘xmlXIncludeProcess’
 
 *
 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
 *
 * Function `xmlXPathCastNodeToString' implicitly converted to pointer at GDOME.xs:628

Created attachment 224485 [details, diff]
XML-GDOME-0.86-includes.patch

I don't see any such warnings (perhaps it depends on the versions of other libraries on the system, and whether certain header files automatically include certain other header files) but I would have thought the attached patch ought to fix things.

Fixed. Thanks.
