[xine-devel] Bug#181238: wrong assumption on char signedness (fwd)

[Siggi (SourceForge) <si...@us...>]

Hi all,

it looks like the libfaad code is not really happy on architectures where
char is unsigned...
Does anybody know that code sufficiently well to fix this?

The funny thing is that I don't seem to have any trouble on powerpc. But
then, I've never tried faad there...

Cheers,
	Siggi

Package: xine-lib
Version:  1-beta4-2
Severity: important

Hi,
char is per default unsigned on arm, powerpc and s390. There are several
warnings, e.g.

dither.c:117: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of
data type

during build of your package that might cause a runtime error. Please check

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=xine-lib&ver=1-beta4-2&arch=s390&stamp=1044236906&file=log&as=raw

for details.

Thanks,
Gerhard
