Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.2-6
Severity: minor
When SYSLOG_NAMES is #define'd, <sys/syslog.h> defines:
typedef struct _code {
char *c_name;
int c_val;
} CODE;
...and then proceeds to define two arrays of these structs, where the c_name
fields are initialized with string constants. Which is not OK by gcc's
-Wwrite-strings option, obviously.
Suggest changing definition to:
typedef struct _code {
const char *c_name;
int c_val;
} CODE;

X-Spam-Level:
I'm using the following test case:
#define SYSLOG_NAMES
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/syslog.h>
static int a = 1;
int
main()
{
a++;
return(0);
}
Compiled with:
gcc -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings main.c
And I cannot reproduce this bug. I'm going to assume that it's been
fixed in the last 3 years. If this isn't the case, please feel free to
reopen this bug, but I'll need you to attach a testcase.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
