Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.13-32 Severity: normal GCC documentation states:
The warn_unused_result attribute causes a warning to be emitted if a caller of the function with this attribute does not use its return value. This is useful for functions where not checking the result is either a security problem or always a bug, such as realloc. However, so far as I can see, ignoring the return value of mblen is never a security problem and is sometimes appropriate (the first call to the function is often mblen(NULL, 0), the result value of which is usually of no interest). (Debian's use of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and the common policy of using -Werror together make this a noncosmetic issue.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.4.0-ibid-1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6-dev depends on: ii libc-dev-bin 2.13-32 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii linux-libc-dev 3.2.18-1 Versions of packages libc6-dev recommends: ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.7.0-6 ii gcc-4.4 [c-compiler] 4.4.7-1 ii gcc-4.5 [c-compiler] 4.5.3-12 ii gcc-4.6 [c-compiler] 4.6.3-5 ii gcc-4.7 [c-compiler] 4.7.0-9 Versions of packages libc6-dev suggests: ii glibc-doc <none> ii manpages-dev 3.40-0.1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
