New submission from Vajrasky Kok: I got this warning when compiling dbm module with Python 3.4.
/home/sky/Code/python/programming_language/cpython/Modules/_dbmmodule.c: In function ‘newdbmobject’: /home/sky/Code/python/programming_language/cpython/Modules/_dbmmodule.c:55:5: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘dbm_open’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] In file included from /home/sky/Code/python/programming_language/cpython/Modules/_dbmmodule.c:16:0: /usr/include/ndbm.h:55:14: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘const char *’ I have two ndbm.h. /usr/include/ndbm.h /usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h Both of them expect char *file not const char *file in dbm_open. I downloaded the newest GNU database manager from http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/gdbm/download.html (gdbm-1.10.tar.gz). It expects char *file as well in dbm_open. Attached the patch to silent the compiler warning. But when I searched 'dbm_open' in search engines or did "man dbm_open", I got: DBM *dbm_open(const char *file, int open_flags, mode_t file_mode); So I am not really sure about this. Feel free to close this ticket if it is not valid. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: silent_compiler_warning_dbm_module.patch keywords: patch messages: 200402 nosy: vajrasky priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Compiler warning when compiling dbm module versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32223/silent_compiler_warning_dbm_module.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19296> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
