Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (4)

	Change	Effect
1	Parameter buf of type char* has been added to the calling stack.	This parameter will not be initialized by old clients.
2	Parameter buflen of type size_t has been added to the calling stack.	This parameter will not be initialized by old clients.
3	The pointer level of return value has been decreased from 1 to 0.	Applications may try to access unallocated memory by the dereferencing of new return value and therefore cause a crash.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value has been changed from ssize_t (4 bytes) to int64_t (8 bytes).	Applications will obtain a different return value and execution may change.

[+] lfp_parse_memsize ( char const* s, enum lfp_memsize_measure_unit default_unit ) (1)

to the top

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value has been changed from char* to int.	Replacement of return type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
