Package: m2c
Version: 0.6-8
Severity: important
m2c uses a single union for parameters of all calls inside
a single procedure. In effect if second or subsequent arguments
are obtained from nested calls the first argument (and
possibly some more) gets garbled. The program below illustrates
the problem:
MODULE ttt;
FROM InOut IMPORT WriteLn, WriteString;
PROCEDURE FOO(i : INTEGER): INTEGER;
BEGIN
RETURN 2
END FOO;
PROCEDURE BAR(i, j : INTEGER);
BEGIN
IF i = 1 THEN
WriteString("OK");
WriteLn;
ELSE
WriteString("Failed");
WriteLn;
END
END BAR;
BEGIN
BAR(1, FOO(2))
END ttt
.
I would personaly consider the problem to be of 'grave' severity,
but since the problem was undiscovered for 4 years I assume
that nobody earlier tried to compile with m2c code containig
nested calls, so I put only 'important' severity in the header.

The m2c package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/503518 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
Kind regards,
