Source: tinycbor
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs upstream
Justification: fails to build from source
User: [email protected]
Usertags: glibc-2.43
Dear maintainer(s),
tinycbor fails to build from source with glibc 2.43, currently in
experimental. From the build log:
| cc -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I./src -std=gnu99 -g -O2
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration
-ffile-prefix-map=/build/reproducible-path/tinycbor-0.6.1=.

from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
| 343 | char *esc = c > 0 ? strchr(escapeChars, c) : NULL;

| cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

| make: *** [debian/rules:13: binary] Error 2
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess failed with exit
status 2
The full build log is available here [1].
The issue is due to ISO C23 declaration of bsearch, memchr, strchr,
strpbrk, strrchr, strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr,
which now returns a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input
argument is a pointer to a const-qualified type [2].
I would like to thanks Emanuele Rocca for doing the archive rebuild on
a fast arm64 server.
Regards
Aurelien
