[Samba] unsafe_string_function_usage_here when linking smbd

[Bengt Nilsson]

Please know that I am NOT an experienced programmer,

In safe_string.h, there are 6 usages of  
"__unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__"
(I am not sure where trans2.c is coming into this.)
Anyway, to find out which one that fails, I created the single  
prototype with

size_t __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__1(void);
size_t __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__2(void);
size_t __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__3(void);
size_t __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__4(void);
size_t __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__5(void);
size_t __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__6(void);

and renamed the corresponding #defines

#define push_pstring_base(dest, src, pstring_base) \
     (CHECK_STRING_SIZE(pstring_base, sizeof(pstring)) \
     ? __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__1() \
     : push_ascii(dest, src, sizeof(pstring)- 
PTR_DIFF(dest,pstring_base)-1, STR_TERMINATE))
.....
#define srvstr_push_fn2(fn_name, fn_line, base_ptr, dest, src,  
dest_len, flags) \
     (CHECK_STRING_SIZE(dest, dest_len) \
     ? __unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__6() \
     : srvstr_push_fn(fn_name, fn_line, base_ptr, dest, src, dest_len,  
flags))


And now the unresolved function was

Linking bin/smbd
ld:
Unresolved:
__unsafe_string_function_usage_here_size_t__6
make: *** [bin/smbd] Error 1

Is this of any help or is it just bull*?

For myself, I do not know what to do with this information, even if  
would be useful.
