Package: dwb Version: 20140415hg-1 Usertags: goto-cc During a rebuild of all packages in a clean sid chroot (and cowbuilder+pbuilder) the build failed with the following error. Please note that we use our research compiler tool-chain (using tools from the cbmc package), which permits extended reporting on type inconsistencies at link time.
[...] cc scripts.c file scripts.c line 3464 function sutil_checksum: in expression `JSValueToNumber(ctx, argv[(signed long int)1], exc)': conversion from `double' to `int': implicit conversion not permitted CONVERSION ERROR make[2]: *** [scripts.o] Error 64 make[2]: Leaving directory `/srv/jenkins-slave/workspace/sid-goto-cc-dwb/dwb-20140415hg/src' make[1]: *** [src.subdir-make] Error 2 Indeed reviewing the code here http://sources.debian.net/src/dwb/20140415hg-1/src/scripts.c?hl=3461,3464,3465#L3461 confirms that an enum-typed variable (which is represented by an int) is to be assigned a double typed value. Furthermore the int is then passed to isnan, which will always return false. This bit of code should be fixed by introducing an additional double typed variable to replace several uses of "type" here until it would be finally, in a safe way, be converted to an enum value via type = MIN(MAX(type, G_CHECKSUM_MD5), G_CHECKSUM_SHA256); ^^^^ to be replaced Best, Michael
