Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Field size has been removed from this type.	1) Applications will access incorrect memory when attempting to access this field. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of field unnamed0 has been changed from 12 bytes to 8 bytes.	Previous accesses of applications and library functions to the fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.

[+] union _gd_unified_entry::anon-union-getdata.h-140 (1)

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of this global data has been changed from char const[26] (104* bytes) to char const[31] (124* bytes).	Applications will obtain a different value and execution may change.

[+] GD_ERROR_CODES [data] (1)

to the top

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 12 bytes to 8 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

getdata.h
[+] struct anon-struct-getdata.h-141 (1)

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 4th parameter flags has been changed from unsigned int to unsigned long.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter flags has been changed from unsigned int to unsigned long.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

[+] dirfile_include ( DIRFILE* D, char const* file, int fragment_index, unsigned int flags ) (1)
[+] dirfile_open ( char const* dirfilename, unsigned int flags ) (1)

to the top

Problems with Constants (2)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant GD_ENCODING has been changed from 0xF000 to 0x0F000.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant GD_N_ERROR_CODES has been changed from 26 to 31.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.
