remove broken useless initialization in socket-client/socket-server (1.05 KB, patch)
2010-05-07 23:09 UTC, Dan Winship 		committed Details | Review

Description Andrew Paprocki 2010-05-07 19:57:51 UTC 
Both socket-server.c and socket-client.c fail to compile with a slew of confusing errors because IBM VisualAge C compiler does not allow this:

      gchar buffer[4096] = { };

To fix this bug, simply change that line to:

      gchar buffer[4096] = {0};

... in both files and they will compile fine.
Comment 1 Andrew Paprocki 2010-05-07 22:01:39 UTC 
I also discovered this fails to build on HP-UX using acc:

"socket-server.c", line 208: error #2029: expected an expression
        gchar buffer[4096] = { };
                               ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "socket-server.c".
gmake[4]: *** [socket-server.o] Error 2
"socket-client.c", line 206: error #2029: expected an expression
        gchar buffer[4096] = { };
                               ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "socket-client.c".
