nmfields.c Compiler Warning

[Richard Laager]

I'm not sure where this should be reported, but I'm seeing a compiler warning with the Novell code in Pidgin. I don't know how to fix it and I know that Novell typically maintains this code.

nmfield.c: In function '_free_field_value':
nmfield.c:172: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

In case it's not clear, I'm a developer on upstream Pidgin.

[Jpr-novell (jpr-novell)]

Are we talking the Novell internet messaging protocol support?

[Richard Laager (rlaager)]

Yes.

The version with which you had the bug is now obsolete. I'll close this as NORESPONSE. If you can still reproduce it in current 11.4, please reopen the bug and move it to the appropriate version. Thanks!

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

I'm closing this bug on launchpad too.
if someone is still affected again please open a new report typing in a terminal
ubuntu-bug pidgin
Thanks
