[vlc-devel] [RFC, PATCH 1/6] demux/mkv: Added EbmlTypeDispatcher (including changes to Makefile.am)

[Filip Roséen]

Hmm, I don't have that line of code in the codebase anymore - I will however
resubmit this patch-batch due to major cleanup that have changed things (and as
such the patch no longer apply).

Though I tested the patches (in this thread) on a fresh git pull before I sent
it to `vlc-devel`, but the dangerous c-style cast is probably to blame for not
resulting in a compile error.


I have replaced as many c-style casts as I can find in earlier patches, before I
got bitten by a really nasty bug where a variable was name `ctime` prior to the
modification, and I changed it to another name (forgetting to change one
instance of where `ctime` was used).


The problem? A c-style cast such as `uint32( ctime )` was used later, and
everything compiled fine because `time.h` is implicitly included. The compiler
then happily converted the _function pointer_ to an `uint32`.

The new patch-block should fix such hard-to-track bugs since the appropriate c++
casts have replaced the c-style ones.

Thanks!
