    Problem Report Number 1816
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem

    Problem Text
    snippets from the offending testcase.

    static void t004(){
    ...
    int bad = 1;
    ...
    fromVal.addr = (String)&bad;
    fromVal.size = 4;
    toVal.addr = (XtPointer) #
    toVal.size = sizeof(short);
    status = XtCvtStringToShort(display,
    &args[0],
    &num_args,
    &fromVal,
    &toVal,
    closure_ret);

    The testcase is trying to cast an int to a String which is defined
    as a char *. This will yield indeterminate results. I would suggest
    fixing the test case to something like:

    char bad[] = "This is not a short"

    Test Output
    TEST CASE: XtCvtStringToShort

    TEST PURPOSE #4
    Assertion XtCvtStringToShort-4.(A)
    If the implementation is X11R5 or later: A call to Boolean
    XtCvtStringToShort(display, args, num_args, from, to,
    closure_ret) when the conversion is not performed due to an
    improper value specified in from shall issue a warning
    message and return False.

    PREP: Set Warning Message Handler
    PREP: Create windows for widgets and map them

    TEST: Warning message was generated
    ERROR: Expected warning handler called of 1, Received 0
    4 FAIL
