Package: libmimetic-dev
Version: 0.9.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Due to an error in the header file /usr/include/mimetic/body.h modern gcc
versions (>=4.3)
refuse to compile perfectly valid programs using an encoder of libmimetic.
A small self-contained example is:
#include <mimetic/mimetic.h>
#include <mimetic/message.h>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string body("This is the mail body");
mimetic::TextEntity *text = new mimetic::TextEntity(body, "utf-8");
if(text) {
mimetic::QP::Encoder qp;
text->body().code(qp);
}
}
This C++ program does not compile with gcc-4.4 due to const-correctness
problems. In more elaborate
examples other type conversion problems appear.
A less serious side effect of the bug is suboptimal performance.
The problem is fixed by the following patch which changes the code to the
version obviously intended by the author:
--- mimetic/body.h 2009-05-15 19:35:32.000000000 +0200
