Currently, when compiling parrot, I see the following error message:
cc -g -I../include -o perlarray.o -c perlarray.c
"perlarray.pmc", line 108: warning: argument #5 is incompatible with prototype:
prototype: pointer to long : "unknown", line 0
argument : pointer to struct PMC {pointer to struct _vtable {..} vtable, long
flags, pointer to void data, union UnionVal {..} cache, p...
The function in question is (from perlarray.pmc):
void set_pmc_keyed (PMC* key, PMC* src, PMC* src_key) {
INTVAL ix;
if (!key) return;
ix = key_integer(INTERP, key);
DYNSELF.set_pmc_keyed_int(&ix, src, src_key);
};
The argument in question is src_key, which is a PMC *. But it's
prototyped in include/parrot/vtable.h as taking an INTVAL *.
How to fix this? Does anyone know the actual intent? Should we call
the appropriate function to fetch the integer out of src_key? Or is
it really an INTVAL * and do we just need a cast? Or is the prototype
wrong?
(I've been slowly working on getting the galactic-tcc tinderbox to even
compile. It's getting closer -- I got rid of the trailing commas in the
enums in list.h -- but there are a few stickier problems remaining. This
is one of them.)
