Compiling with -Wall is failing for me without application of this patch. I'm fairly sure someone else has independently proposed (pretty much) the same thing, but given that it didn't get applied, I'm reproposing it here.

I don't understand this change. My close(2) man page says close takes an int, not a size_t.

Charles, what is the exact -Wall error you're seeing? I can't seem to find "dal", but just a guess... is 'dal->dev' a 'void *'?


Sadly, this query came *after* I wiped SLES10.1 off my development box. Gentoo doesn't install the reiserfstools headers, and consequently pygrub doesn't try to build the code in question and I'm unable to reproduce the issue.

It smells to me like you're right, though -- I *think* the error was indeed "cast from pointer to integer of different size" -- and if so, then what I've proposed isn't the right fix; something like close((int)(size_t)dal->dev) would be closer, though stuffing a FD in a spot intended for a pointer seems pretty hokey in any event.
