#9726: Linker.c uses of swprintf() fail to compile on gcc 4.8.3 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gintas | Owner: gintas Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Difficulty: Unknown | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- swprintf has different signatures in mingw32, where it does not include the buffer size, and in mingw-w64, where it does. That of course breaks the code as mingw-w64 treats the pointer to the format string as a size_t. Bummer: C:/.../inplace/mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/include/swprintf.inl:30:5: note: expected 'size_t' but argument is of type 'short unsigned int *' int swprintf (wchar_t *__stream, size_t __count, const wchar_t *__format, ...) ^ rts\Linker.c:1986:12: warning: passing argument 2 of 'swprintf' makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default] swprintf(buf, L"lib%s.DLL", dll_name); I have a fix pending to use snwprintf instead. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9726 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
