Subject: xterm patch for gcc with fix-1[567]
Message-ID: <492@zok.UUCP>

Lines: 37

The recent MIT X1R4 fix-15, fix-16, fix-17 changed the typedef of XtPointer
(see Intrinsic.h) for compilers that define __STDC__.  It's now a pointer to
void instead of a pointer to a character.  This causes gcc (1.37.1 on a Sun3)
to hiccup when compiling .../src/mit/clients/xterm/charproc.c.

Not sure if type casting to a (char *) is the "correct" solution, but it's
enough to get gcc to compile xterm.  Here's the patch:

*** charproc.c.org	Fri Mar 23 14:57:11 1990
--- charproc.c	Sun Sep 30 18:07:31 1990
***************
*** 2618,2624 ****
      if (*type != XA_STRING || *format != 8) { Bell(); return; }
      len = strlen(value);
      if (len > 0) {
! 	if (value[len-1] == '\n') value[len-1] = '\0';
  	if (!LoadNewFont (&term->screen, value, NULL, True, 
  			  fontMenu_fontescape))
  	  Bell();
--- 2618,2624 ----
      if (*type != XA_STRING || *format != 8) { Bell(); return; }
      len = strlen(value);
      if (len > 0) {
! 	if (((char *)value)[len-1] == '\n') ((char *)value)[len-1] = '\0';
  	if (!LoadNewFont (&term->screen, value, NULL, True, 
  			  fontMenu_fontescape))
  	  Bell();
