[Bug 2081110] Re: FTBFS for oracular 2:4.35-1.1ubuntu1

** Also affects: nspr (Ubuntu Oracular)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: nspr (Ubuntu Plucky)
   Importance: Undecided
     Assignee: Lena Voytek (lvoytek)
       Status: In Progress

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  Builds of nspr fail in oracular due to GCC-14 standards, which raises
  issues due to incompatible pointer types and function calls.
  
  This should be backported to Oracular to fix the pr testsuite and
  simplify future package rebuilds.
  
  The issue is fixed by a reformatted upstream commit which fixes the type
  conversions and function calls.
  
  [Test Plan]
  
  Since this is an FTBFS, the bug can be reproduced by attempting to build
  in oracular.
  
  A successful build should show that the bug is fixed, as it both compiles testfile.c and runs the test suite that uses it during runtime with:
  cd nspr/pr/tests && grep -v '^\(fdcach\|gethost\|getproto\|nblayer\|peek\|socket\|vercheck\)$' ./runtests.sh | sh - /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/nspr/dist
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  
  If problems were to occur, they would arise when running the nspr/pr
  test suite. This patch modifies testfile.c, which is used by the
  majority of tests to read and write data as they run.
  
  Due to upstream reformatting the file prior to the commit that fixes the
  issue, the patch had to be cleaned up to apply against the previous
  format. This could cause changes to logic if the patch were mis-applied.
  
  [Other Info]
-  
- The fix should be added to Oracular as a "zero-day" SRU.

+ Adding to Plucky once the archive is available, then backporting to
+ oracular
  
  [Original Description]
  
  nspr currently fails to build in oracular with the following:
  
  testfile.c:126:41: error: passing argument 3 of ‘pthread_create’ from
  incompatible pointer type
  
  This should be fixed upstream with
  https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/rev/e178d3d9b47b2479f22f208d6225eda81918dae1
