[Zlib-devel] infnew-6 available for testing

[Mark Adler]

zlib lint-pickers,

Version 6 of the new inflate code is available for testing here:

     http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~madler/infnew-6.tar.gz

This new code can be applied to zlib 1.1.4 as follows (Unix example):

     gnutar xvfz zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
     cd zlib-1.1.4
     gnutar xvfz ../infnew-6.tar.gz
     patch zlib.h zlib.h-1.2.diff
     rm infblock.* infcodes.* infutil.*
     ./configure
     [ ... make your own modifications to Makefile as needed ... ]
     make test
     [ ... test zlib with your applications ... ]

The only changes in this version are to reduce compiler warnings, 
mostly typecasting.  Please test this and let me know what compiler 
grousing remains.

I have deliberately left in the do {} while (0) constructs since they 
are the only way I can think of to allow macros with statements to 
appear syntactically like functions with no return value, and since 
Glenn said that they caused "remarks", not warnings.
