I was looking after some compiler warnings in openssh-2.9p2, same with
yesterday's snap
(about 15 Warnings, some for void*/function ptr warnings)
IBM's compiler gives warnings, gcc on Linux doesn't complain about them.
Example:
"authfd.c", line 414.49: 1506-280 (W) Function argument assignment
between types "unsigned int*" and "int*" is not allowed.
I found a few things:
- pointers to signed/unsigned ints are used for buffer/packet length parameters
-> should I try to fix these warnings / maximum buffer size is defined as
256k so there should be no problem to use a typecast
- in configure the size of int is checked, but 2 byte int's (Ansi C minimum)
would cause an overflow for buffer sizes of 256k
-> shouldn't configure stop there? (btw are 16bit ints still used on
any unix systems? minix or embeded systems might do so)
