[Bug 1501634] Re: GnuPG 1.4 requires a patch for GCC 5

[NIIBE Yutaka]

This bug is fixed in upstream.

GnuPG 1.4:
http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=commit;h=6db18e29eb81b37ed6feb592add77d492c60fc35

GnuPG 2.0:
http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=commit;h=b1653a4083b91cfa85d90f59612fa1c3f4d51778

It had been fixed in development branch before, and the fix was intended
to silence a warning at that time.  Because of that, the commit log
doesn't directly address it's a bug.

Now with GCC 5, we have a concrete example which hits the bug.  Namely, OpenPGP-compliant valid signature might be
regected.


** Summary changed:

- GnuPG 1.4 requires a patch for GCC 5
+ GnuPG 1.4/2.0 requires a patch for GCC 5

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I am a upstream developer of GnuPG, and we got a bug report.

  https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2015-September/030334.html
  https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2015-October/030336.html

  I committed a fix to upstream repository for 1.4 and 2.0.

  Then, I realized that Ubuntu uses GCC 5 for building gnupg.  Thus,
  reporting.

  I'm not sure if this bug is reproducible on Ubuntu.  It is reproducible on my Debian machine.
  Please check.
