Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-11 23:30:29] johannes@php.net If you can provide patches they will most likely be added. We improve this step by step but with low priority compared to other issues. As this is an already ongoing effort this bug is not needed. (also mind: even though it's trivial we can change these published apis only in trunk, not released versions) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-11 19:47:32] chantry dot xavier at gmail dot com Description: ------------ All zend API functions should use const char * for strings. Trying to build a C program using Zend with clang results in hundreds of warnings such as these : foo.c:4975:5: warning: passing 'const char [7]' to parameter of type 'char *' discards qualifiers PARSE_PARAMETERS("rrlszz", &zbody, &zurl, &nb_fields, &line, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ foo.c:4975:22: note: instantiated from: PARSE_PARAMETERS("rrlszz", &zbody, &zurl, &nb_fields, &line, ^~~~~~~~ /usr/include/php5/Zend/zend_API.h:238:66: note: passing argument to parameter 'type_spec' here ZEND_API int zend_parse_parameters(int num_args TSRMLS_DC, char *type_spec, ...); ^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54712&edit=1
