[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#407641: libasound2-dev: Please make libasound header C99 compatible

[Gregor Jasny]

Package: libasound2-dev
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

If you compile the following source file:

#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>

with

gcc -Wall -std=c99 -c bug.c

you'll get the folloing error:

/usr/include/alsa/timer.h:108: error: field 'tstamp' has incomplete type

because "struct timespec" is not part of C99 (#314435).

Maybe upstream can replace struct timespec with sth. C99 compatible?

Cheers,
Gregor
