--- Comment #11 from Jerry James <loganjerry@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Argh.  Bugzilla just complained that this comment is longer than 65535
characters, so I'm splitting it up into two parts.


Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues
==============
1. Some of the compiler warnings are troubling.  In particular:
   a. -Wsequence-point: this indicates undefined behavior.  In fact, this
      warning seems to point to a typo in the code; idarrows.cpp line 514 is:

      _x[l] = _x[k] = _x[j] = tx1; _y[l] = _y[k] = _y[k] = ty1;

      Note the assignment of _y[k] to itself.  By analogy with the _x array
      settings, it seems probable that the second of those should be _y[j]
      instead.
   b. -Wstrict-aliasing: the compiler can produce code in this case that is
      quite different from what you would expect, and can lead to crashes.  I
      have seen this happen in practice numerous times; this is not merely an
      academic issue.  One solution is to add -fno-strict-aliasing to the build
      flags, but that pessimizes the entire library.  Another approach is to
      use memcpy() to move the bits in question between entities of different
      types.  Still another approach is to store data in a union, so the same
      bits are accessible as different types.  Let me know if you would like me
      to examine the code and propose a solution.
   c. -Wchar-subscripts: the type "char" is problematic as an array index type
      because it is signed on some architectures and unsigned on others.  The
      code should be examined to ensure that, where it is signed, the
subscripts
      only take on values in the range 0 to 127.

2. This is in %files:

   # Nothing else owns it, obsolete?
   %{_datadir}/app-defaults/

   That's the wrong directory.  It should be %{_datadir}/X11/app-defaults.  The
   difficulty is that that directory is owned by libXt, but this package does
   not Requires: libXt.  Since that dependency is not generated automatically,
   you will probably have to add it manually.

3. Note the undefined-non-weak-symbol warnings from rpmlint.  Those indicate
   cases of underlinking.  In particular, libIVhines.so.3.0.3 should have been
   linked with -lX11 and libUnidrawhines.so.3.0.3 should have been linked with
   -lIVhines.

4. Not really an issue, just a tip.  The "find" command takes a -delete flag,
   so you could write the find line in %install less verbosely, like this:

   find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -name '*.la' -delete

5. Since the -devel subpackage Requires the main package, you do not need to
   include the license file in -devel, but you may do so if you wish.
