Source: mksh
Version: 39.3-1
Severity: serious
Usertags: implicit-pointer-conversion
Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that is likely to
cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a
pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.
Function `strcasestr' implicitly converted to pointer at ] conftest.c:8
This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.
For more information, see [2].
Though it is guaranteed that this codepath will cause a segfault on certain
architectures, it is not guaranteed that this codepath would ever be executed
(e.g., if the returned pointer is never dereferenced). However, this bug
does prevent the ia64 buildd from successfully building this package, resulting
in a practical FTBFS issue and warranting the serious severity.

Which (pseudo?) package would I assign false positives such as
this to? Since I couldn't find one, closing.
> Function `strcasestr' implicitly converted to pointer at ] conftest.c:8
Please do whitelist "conftest*.c" in your scanning thing.
This is like GNU autotools' configure except config.log
is put on stdio instead of a separate file.

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
