In kdb.h, I have the following lines (near the end)
/* XXX I give up.... the following int should be a krb5_boolean, but */
/* it causes gcc to give up and die. */
krb5_boolean krb5_db_set_lockmode
PROTOTYPE((int ));
The declaration, in kdb_dbm.c says:
krb5_boolean
krb5_dbm_db_set_lockmode(mode)
krb5_boolean mode;
Yet if I change the function prototype in kdb.h so that
kdb5_db_set_lockmode takes a krb5_boolean instead of the int which is
show above, I get the wonderful error message:
kdb_dbm.c: In function krb5_db_set_lockmode:
kdb_dbm.c:976: argument `mode' doesn't match function prototype
kdb_dbm.c:976: a formal parameter type that promotes to `int'
kdb_dbm.c:976: can match only `int' in the prototype
Other prototypes in kdb.h reference krb5_boolean with out any problem at
all. Can anyone figure it out? Am I missing something really stupid?
I must be, since I've wasted far too much time trying to figure this
out.....
