After banging my head against these last 4 errors for a while, i
researched the warning i was seeing itself.
The warnings were:
gcc -g -O2 -Wformat=2 -Wunused -Wundef -Wextra -Wswitch-enum -Wshadow
-Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wconversion
-Wbad-function-cast -Wnested-externs -Wall `pkg-config --cflags x11 xtst 2>
/dev/null || echo "-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include"` -c xdo.c
xdo.c: In function ‘xdo_type’:
xdo.c:276: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘_xdo_keycode_from_char’ with
different width due to prototype
xdo.c:277: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘_xdo_get_shiftcode_if_needed’ with
different width due to prototype
xdo.c: In function ‘_xdo_populate_charcode_map’:
xdo.c:394: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘XKeycodeToKeysym’ with different
width due to prototype
xdo.c: In function ‘_xdo_keysequence_to_keycode_list’:
xdo.c:476: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘__strtok_r_1c’ with different width
due to prototype
After reading a recent post on cocoa-dev [0], i no longer think these
warnings are relevant. In fact, i think that -Wconversion is
basically a lot of false positives: the compilers in debian (and every
other OS i've used in the last decade) can all handle function
prototypes just fine, thanks.
Without -Wconversion, my current svn HEAD builds with no errors, so
i'm going to ship the cleanup diff upstream to see if Jordan's
interested.
