Hi Uli,
you changed in stdlib.h without a real ChangeLog entry the state
functions for random (initstate, setstate etc.):
-extern void *initstate (unsigned int __seed, void *__statebuf,
+extern char *initstate (unsigned int __seed, char *__statebuf,
size_t __statelen) __THROW;
But this change is not reflected in the implememtation of these
files. Is this required by any standards? In this case the files
stdlib/random.c etc and include/stdlib.h should also be changed to
use char instead of void. I can send a patch if you confirm that
the change from void* to char* is correct.
Andreas
