>Description:
In file sbin/route/route.c,v 1.75
- l. 102, function 'bprintf' is declared with its second arg being 'u_char *'
- this function is subsequently called several time, each time with a second arg of type char[]
Since char and u_char are not the same, my compiler refuse it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this file with some type checking activated.
>Fix:
function 'bprintf' should be declared and defined taking a char* as a second arg.
As far as I have seen, no further modification is needed in function 'bprintf'.
