glXGetProcAddress implicitly converted to pointer

[LaMont Jones]

Binary package hint: gpac

Function `glXGetProcAddress' implicitly converted to pointer at compositor/visual_manager_3d_gl.c:102
Function `glXGetProcAddress' implicitly converted to pointer at compositor/visual_manager_3d_gl.c:102

Our automated build log filter[1] detected the problem(s) above that will
likely cause your package to segfault on 64-bit architectures (where the
size of a pointer is greater than the size of an integer.)

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.
For more information, see [2].

Since use of implicitly converted pointers is always (eventually
and/or itermittantly) fatal to the application, they are errors.
Please correct them for your next upload.

Here's a simple debdiff to prototype the function first. Compiles without a warning about an implicit function for me.

Uploaded, thanks.

This bug was fixed in the package gpac - 0.4.5-0.3ubuntu4

---------------
gpac (0.4.5-0.3ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/04_glx-func-def.diff: Define a glXGetProcAddress prototype so
    that gcc doesn't assume it returns an int. LP: #402177
