kdb_dbm.c:976: a formal parameter type that promotes to `int'
kdb_dbm.c:976: can match only `int' in the prototype
This means exactly what it says. If you use K&R-style function declarations
then you have to use widened types in all the prototypes. You can only
use the "real" types in the prototype if you use ANSI-style declarations,
in which case you can't mix gcc & pcc object files. That's the way
it works, unfortunately.
Other prototypes in kdb.h reference krb5_boolean with out any problem at
all.
Then something else is bizarre; it should only be possible to use
pointers to narrow types in the prototypes. I had to do some crocky
stuff in the X headers to deal with this. More details if you want 'em.
Am I missing something really stupid?
Dunno, but the business of include/krb5/kdb_dbm.h
#define'ing krb5_dbm_db_set_lockmode krb5_db_set_lockmode
seems a tad crocky to me by-the-way. I assume there was
a legitimate reason at one time. Are you confident you're
building with the right headers?
