I got one last input for this case:
CC ginstall-install.o
"install.c", line 191: warning: initializer does not fit or is out of
range: -61952
Code:
187 /* Return true for mode with non-permission bits. */
188 static bool
189 extra_mode (mode_t input)
190 {
191 const mode_t mask = ~S_IRWXUGO & ~S_IFMT;
192 return input & mask;
193 }
This line is expanded to this code by the preprocessor:
const mode_t mask = ~ ( 00700 | 00070 | 00007 ) & ~ 0xF000 ;
mode_t is unsigned long on my system.
I added this test print:
fprintf(stderr, "extra_mode(%ld) -> %ld\n", input, input & mask);
which leads to
$ ./ginstall -Cv -m$mode3 a b
extra_mode(1517) -> 1024
extra_mode(1517) -> 1024
extra_mode(33184) -> 0
extra_mode(34285) -> 1024
Can this be the reason?
Have a nice day,
Berny
