Patch to fix signed comparison with nullptr
Comment 9 Martin Väth 2021-05-03 17:35:13 UTC
Comment to the patch, since it might look wrong at a first glance:

All documentation about the return value of XCreateGC I found states that it returns a proper pointer and in the error case sets some failure stat. In particular, I found no documentation that it returns a "negative" pointer.

The cleanest patch would probably be to check the failure stat, but since I am not sure about it, the most reasonable analogous check to the original code is to check whether we get a null pointer returned. (Very likely, neither the original code nor the patch work properly in the error case, but at least the patch fixes the compilation issue and causes no regression in the non-error case.)

Can confirm that the patch fixes building with gcc-11.1.0, thanks.
