136343 - SGI CC compile: void* assignment compilation problems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136344

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Simon Julier]

I have run into some (minor) problems with compiling yesterday's CVS tree (08th
April, 2002) on an SGI using CC version 7.3.1.3m under IRIX. Specifically, at
several points in the code, void* pointer values are assigned to non-void*
pointers which generates a compilation error under CC.

The compilation was configured using nsprpub/configure.

Here is a list of the errors:

==============================================================================

All of these can be fixed by adding the necessary casts (or, in the last three
cases, removing the void* cast).

[Simon Julier]

This is an accidental repetition of bug 136344, with the platform set wrongly.
Please ignore / delete. Sorry!
