[New-bugs-announce] [issue46383] _zoneinfo module_free has invalid function signature

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

The zoneinfo C extension has the "freefunc m_free" function with signature "static void module_free(void)". The signature of freefunc is "void (*freefunc)(void *)". It takes a void * argument, but module_free() does not.

The signature mismatch is not a problem for most C compilers. But Web Assembly is more strict. wasm32-emscripten fails and aborts at runtime:

worker.js onmessage() captured an uncaught exception: RuntimeError: function signature mismatch
Pthread 0x8a1df0 sent an error! undefined:undefined: function signature mismatch

/python-wasm/cpython/builddir/node/python.js:158
   throw ex;
