Compilation issue with mysql/php & HP-ux

Hi gents,
The hp-ux compiler has an issue with a couple of lines in
ext/mysql/libmysql/my_tempnam.c in the php 4_3 & PHP5 code stream. There
are two uneeded lvalue casts that the compiler chokes on.

Any chance that you guys can fix this ?

Diff attached.

thanks,
Dave

Hi David,

The odd cast was used as a way to force some systems to let us update
environ with a char ** pointer.

In versions of the code later than this, we have had to switch to:

(*(char***) &environ)=(char**) temp_env;

as a way to deal with the IBM compiler under AIX not allowing us to cast the
value of environ.

How does this change work out for you?

Zak, you're late. I already updated this file to one from
Mysql 4.0.12. :)

Not good.  The client library in MySQL 4.x is GPLed code.  If
you really copied over the whole file, then our repository is
tainted now with the GPL.  Such infected pieces need to be
removed immediately.
