[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1075638: wise: ftbfs with GCC-14

[Étienne Mollier]

Control: tag -1 confirmed

Hi Matthias,

I went through most of the issues flagged by gcc 14 and fixed
most of them, except one case which I thought might interest
you.  The file src/models/motifmatrix.c in wise source code is
apparently tripping the -Wint-conversion out of the blue:

	motifmatrix.c:408:24: error: assignment to ‘char’ from ‘void *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
	  408 |     for(i=0;i<leni;i++)  {
	      |                        ^

The issue is reproducible on Salsa CI[1].  Of course when I look
at the code, I see no obvious cases of void* to char assignment.
Also, when I try to rearrange code around this hunk a bit, the
issue indicator moves around seemingly randomly, sometimes
completely outside the range of the line of code.  Thus, I
suspect a compiler bug here.

I'm considering working the issue around with the appropriate
build option: wise hasn't seen any new release for about sixteen
years and eleven months, and it is causing a sprawl of
autoremovals at the moment.  But as I mentioned, I thought you
might be interested in the issue.

Have a nice day,  :)
