#30559 [Bgs]: ext/standard fails to compile due to data type error

ID: 30559 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: jbarwick at sentienthealth dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: * PHP Version: * New Comment: "Whenever our shop compiles a tool to be used in our business, I must justify EVERY compiler warning." What would be the reason for that? It makes no sense in a lot of cases... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-27 03:55:12] jbarwick at sentienthealth dot com I understand from your perspective that "this doesn't imply" a bug in PHP itself. And I concur. I appriciate the info on other sites to post bugs. Whenever our shop compiles a tool to be used in our business, I must justify EVERY compiler warning. As I appriciate that you "Won't Fix" this, It amazes me that you refuse to add the most simplistic typecast to something to remove a warning that just makes people question the code. Just ONE LITTLE typecast...eh? Well, if var_unserializer.c is a "generated source"...guess you can't. Anyway, thanks for listening to one of your advocates of PHP. I guess I'll keep my diffs around and apply this patch when we go to 4.3.9... Thanks.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-26 20:54:42] helly@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Upgrade your re2c: http://sf.net/projects/re2c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-26 11:28:28] derick@php.net This is a generated file (by re2c) from var_serializer.re. This is not an ERROR, but a warning, and something that should be fixed in the re2c tool. You can safely ignore this warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-26 10:10:00] jbarwick at sentienthealth dot com Description: ------------ in /etx/standard/var_unserializer.c line 310 data type error... Changed line from: if (yych <= '\277) gogo yy15; to if (yych <= (YYCTYPE) '\277') goto yy15; this removed a compiler warning on this file relating to limited range of data type and the fact that this if would always return false.. Reproduce code: --------------- compile the code Expected result: ---------------- no error relating to date type size Actual result: -------------- error relating to data type size ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30559&edit=1
