Bug#417722; Package libreadline5. (full text, mbox, link).

New Bug report received and forwarded. Copy sent to Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>. (full text, mbox, link).

Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):

Package: libreadline5
Version: 5.2-2
Severity: normal

The documentation claims

    Function: int rl_extend_line_buffer (int len)

but readline.h has

    extern void rl_extend_line_buffer PARAMS((int));

and utils.c has

    void
    rl_extend_line_buffer (len)
         int len;

i.e. it returns void, not int.


Thanks
Ian
