Gentoo portage can report warnings that exhibit random runtime failures, when I compile xorg-server I get: access.c:1399: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransGetPeerAddr' access.c:1471: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransIsLocal' access.c:1481: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransGetConnectionNumber' io.c:378: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransRead' io.c:977: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransDisconnect' io.c:978: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransClose' io.c:1129: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransWritev' xdmauth.c:281: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransGetPeerAddr' xdmauth.c:283: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransConvertAddress' utils.c:949: warning: implicit declaration of function '_XSERVTransNoListen' ../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:264: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcat' ../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:270: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy' ../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:388: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vsscanf' ../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:780: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfscanf' ../cfb/cfbpixmap.c:170: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' ../cfb/cfbtegblt.c:195: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ldl_u' ../cfb/cfbpolypnt.c:140: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ffs' ../cfb/cfbpixmap.c:170: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' ../cfb/cfbfillsp.c:562: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ldl_u' ../cfb/cfbtegblt.c:195: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ldl_u' ../cfb/cfbpolypnt.c:140: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ffs' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetpartmasks' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:399: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetstarttab' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:399: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' ../cfb/cfbpixmap.c:170: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' ../cfb/cfbfillsp.c:562: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ldl_u' ../cfb/cfbtegblt.c:195: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ldl_u' ../cfb/cfbpolypnt.c:140: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ffs' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetpartmasks' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:399: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetstarttab' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:399: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' xf86Events.c:1291: warning: implicit declaration of function 'backtrace' xf86Events.c:1292: warning: implicit declaration of function 'backtrace_symbols' ./../shared/libc_wrapper.c:264: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcat' ./../shared/libc_wrapper.c:270: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy' ./../shared/libc_wrapper.c:388: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vsscanf' ./../shared/libc_wrapper.c:780: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfscanf' ../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:264: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcat' ../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:270: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy' ../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:388: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vsscanf' ../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/libc_wrapper.c:780: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfscanf' Thanks a lot
This has changed a bit, and now for xorg-server-1.5.3 it says QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile fine but exhibit random runtime failures. window.c:1496: warning: implicit declaration of function 'miPaintWindow' ../cfb/cfbpixmap.c:167: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' ../cfb/cfbpixmap.c:167: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:388: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetpartmasks' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:394: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetstarttab' ../cfb/cfbcppl.c:394: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mfbGetendtab' glthread.c:84: warning: implicit declaration of function 'perror' xf86Xinput.c:165: warning: implicit declaration of function 'AssignTypeAndName' xf86Xinput.c:174: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XkbSetExtension' xalloc.c:108: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy' xaaInit.c:198: warning: implicit declaration of function 'miInitializeCompositeWrapper' Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA issues directly to the upstream developers of this software.
With xorg-server 1.8.1 the QA Notice has disappeared. Setting to RESOLVED/FIXED
