Description Jocelyn Mayer 2022-12-19 18:28:47 UTC
When merging vmpsd, one will get many warnings:
implicit declaration of function 'xxx'
incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'xxx'
This could potentially lead to bugs if the listed functions would be called with wrong types parameters, as the compiler cannot check them without a valid prototype and can be easily fixed by adding a few headers inclusions.
As upstream seems dead (CVS repository, last release in 2014), I'm not to post a request on sourceforge, at least for now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge vmpsd
2. Admire the build log

Actual Results:  
Many warnings for implicit declarations of functions.

Expected Results:  
No such warning

I think this is pretty much a duplicate of bug 883125 which contains the same errors, but given this has a patch, I'll See Also it.

Ooops... Sorry...
I did not see the other submission with a search, I would have post the patch there...
I notice the "metabug" #870412 for further patches of the same kind.
