Description John Wehle 2010-02-26 15:15:20 UTC

The vac C compiler on AIX 5.2 throws an error such as:

"./base/gdevpx.c", line 734.42: 1506-068 (S) Operation between types "void" and
"void" is not allowed.

if you attempt to have return call a void function.  Fixed with supplied patch.

base/gdevpx.c - the two chunks are fine. I think it was also flagged by
coverity. Historically the routine was of type void and when I needed to fork
off 2 different versions of it (*_RLE and *_DeltaRow) I just added more logic to
switch between the two; somewhat undecided about whether to return a value.

Somebody else please review the 3rd chunk in the garbage collector code.

Comment 3 Alex Cherepanov 2010-02-28 13:36:30 UTC

The last chunk has already been fixed by the rev. 10826.

Comment 4 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-02-28 15:04:13 UTC

Committed the first two chunks as r10827 .
