Hi Michael,
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.
Thanks for reporting this defect. Suddenly I want to use this toolchain, too ;-)
It seems the actual definition returns a gint64: http://sources.debian.net/src/dvdisaster/0.72.4-1/scsi-layer.c?hl=2007#L2007
Correct. We want gint64 in all places.
while some forward declarations where missed in some update: http://sources.debian.net/src/dvdisaster/0.72.4-1/rs02-window.c?hl=26#L26 http://sources.debian.net/src/dvdisaster/0.72.4-1/preferences.c?hl=24#L24
Shame on me. These should be gint64, too.
One can only hope that the unit of measurement is not bytes, as there happen to be media with a capacity of more than 2 GB ... The actual uses in rs02-window.c and preferences.c will not work correctly with any value larger than this.
Indeed, the defect will not cause an actual failure as the unit of measurement is 2KBytes (= one CD/DVD/BD sector). Since even a
dual layer BD is specified to have about 23.652.352 sectors, we're still below 2^31 by a wide margin and therefore safe. Nevertheless, I will prepare an update asap. Which will probably mean somewhere next week, as I am currently on a travel with limited resources.
