I’m writing this report on 13th July, almost two week late. See week 6 report for that, I had fallen a bit sick.<\/p>\n
Hello all, this is my week 5’s report for my project “Porting Gentoo’s
\npackages to Modern C”.<\/p>\n
First things first, we now have MATE desktop and related packages
\nported. Not only just in Modern C, but it’s now compatible with
\ngettext-0.22, too [1]. So if you are using llvm-musl or the llvm profile
\nyou can use MATE desktop.<\/p>\n
While fixing MATE settings-daemon I’ve learned two very valuable
\nlesson (thanks to my Sam),
\n– Getting feedback from upstream devs is important
\n– Casting variables in incompatible function pointer type of errors is
\nnot always correct, it might only temporarily fix the problem\/silence
\nthe warning.
\nI’m going to keep this two points in mind for the next and upcoming
\nweeks.<\/p>\n
Apart from the MATE work, I mostly adhered to my proposal timeline and
\nfixed more -Wimplicit-function-declaration bug, [2][3] and more.<\/p>\n
While strictly according to my proposal, coming two weeks (week 6 and 7)
\nare to be focused on -Wdeprecated-non-prototype. But in my experience
\ntill now there are not many bugs of this type. I’ll obviously keep an
\neye out for this bug types but I’ll most likely be solving more of
\n-Wimplicit-function-declaration or -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types
\ntype of bugs, as they seem to dominate the bug list\/tracker.<\/p>\n
Our midterm evaluation is also coming up, opens 10th this month, hence
\nworking towards that (mainly communicating with my mentors on any things
\nthey expect of me or would like to see\/get done before the evaluation).
\nNeedless to say super excited about that.<\/p>\n
Till then, see ya!<\/p>\n
