Hi,
While triaging bugs, I came across this one.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14723
The basic issue is warnings during the compile.
The options
1. Add prototypes (like the patch attached to the bug) to silence the
warning.
2. Remove the functions, since they appear to be unused.
They're public API of libXext - we can't remove them without breaking
compatibility, which we don't do in the client libraries, even for the
cruftiest, most ancient extensions.
(This is also why no new extensions should be added to libXext, so that
we don't dig this hole any deeper.)
Thanks for the information.
Since the functions in question don't have function prototype in any header.
Would it be OK to defined the prototype in the source they are defined? Or
what header should they go into, since no more features are being add here?
Best Regards
Alistair Leslie-Hughes
