Indentation for an if condition was incorrect. Hence upon hitting the error conditional, the code was not returning the error the value. Fixed in this change by adding braces with the if conditional. This error was found when compiling with a newer version of gcc 9.4.0 on ubuntu 20.04.2. Signed-off-by: Ani Sinha <ani@anisinha.ca>
In many cases, the callback function pointers in PyMethodDef definitions are
cast to PyCFunction type where as their actual signature matches that of
PyCFunctionWithKeywords type. This issue exists throughout in python 2.7
codebase in general. On newer compilers, this produces a compile time failure
like the following:
build/grub/grub-core/contrib/python/bitsmodule.c:558:16: error: cast between incompatible function types from 'PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *, PyObject *)' {aka 'struct _object * (*)(struct _object *, struct _object *, struct _object *)'} to 'PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)' {aka 'struct _object * (*)(struct _object *, struct _object *)'} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
558 | {"get_xy", (PyCFunction)bits_get_xy, METH_KEYWORDS, "get_xy(term) -> (cursor_x, cursor_y)"},
Pass -Wno-cast-function-type in compiler cflags in order to suppress this
failure.
