[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#642016: some functions return values implicitly converted to pointer

[Matthias Klose]

Package: molphy
Version: 2.3b3-5
Severity: important
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric

the amd64 build is rejected by the Ubuntu buildds; there is a bunch of functions
used without declaring the prototypes.

Function `mlikelihood' implicitly converted to pointer at sltree.c:471
Function `new_npvector' implicitly converted to pointer at njtree.c:360
Function `new_npvector' implicitly converted to pointer at njmtree.c:233
Function `new_tree' implicitly converted to pointer at protml.c:783
Function `newinfotrees' implicitly converted to pointer at protml.c:785
Function `mlikelihood' implicitly converted to pointer at protml.c:831

Our automated build log filter detected the problem(s) above that will
likely cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of
a pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.

Since use of implicitly converted pointers is always fatal to the application
on ia64, they are errors.  Please correct them for your next upload.
