Bug 52235 – errors in dparammanager.h and dparam.h headers from media-libs/gstreamer

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Zack Pearsall 2004-05-27 23:45:55 UTC]

I have verified these bugs exist in gstreamer-0.6.4 and gstreamer-0.8.1

I was attempting to emerge kgst ( see bug 43417 ) and got the following error.

In file included from /usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/dparammanager.h:28,
                 from /usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/control.h:25,
                 from gstreamer.cpp:39:
/usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/dparam.h:63: error: comma at end of
   enumerator list
In file included from /usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/control.h:25,
                 from gstreamer.cpp:39:
/usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/dparammanager.h:54: error: comma at end
   of enumerator list
make[4]: *** [gstreamer.lo] Error 1

So I removed the offending comma from dparammanager.h then I got this error.

In file included from /usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/gst.h:85,
                 from gstreamer.cpp:38:
/usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/gstlog.h:33:18: warning: anonymous variadic macros were introduced in C99
In file included from /usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/dparammanager.h:28,
                 from /usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/control.h:25,
                 from gstreamer.cpp:39:
/usr/include/gstreamer-0.6/gst/control/dparam.h:63: error: comma at end of
   enumerator list
make[4]: *** [gstreamer.lo] Error 1

I removed the offending comma from dparam.h then kgst compiled fine.

[Comment 1 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-05-28 09:38:19 UTC]

those commas are allowed by C99, but where not by ANSI/C89

i've removed most of those leading commas in enums in current gstreamer CVS (would be in 0.8.2)

shouldn't be an issue with gcc, but is an issue for other compilers like AIX native compiler.

i wonder why your gcc complains here. or is it not allowed by g++/C++ std ? (as it is a C++ app that uses those includes)

[Comment 2 Zack Pearsall 2004-05-28 12:56:26 UTC]

I kind of suspect it is a g++ thing. But I don't know.

no traffic for a while, reopen if still a problem with recent gst versions.
