On the ARM "char" is unsigned char. See
"http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/docs/faqs/signedchar.php";.  This is a
real portability issue.  This would not work on a NetWinder,
etc. Maybe someone will port GTKG to Symbian on a mobile phone ;-)

I do agree that portions of the splint parser aren't correct.
Typically, I have to look at 100 warnings before I find a real bug.
But it usually takes less time to look at the 100 warnings than to
*find* and fix a bug.  Since I haven't used Splint with GTKG, my
splint configuration may cause more warnings than normal.

I had turned on a lot of warnings [the ones I usually code to] and had
the output sitting around for the "lib" directory.  I just thought it
might help find something.  However, you are free to ignore it and I
won't post any splint output again.

Splint can be used to find dead code and variable using inter-modular
analyze (and show little else).  There are better commercial lint
tools.  Splint is much better if you use the annotations; comments
that specify functionality.

Fwiw,
Bill Pringlemeir.
