Re: Do we have Wild card like "."

  Hello Norbert,
               I used this patch on  openLDAP version -2.0.7, but I'm
getting one compile time error  which says--

filterentry.c: In function `test_mra_filter':
filterentry.c:162: request for member `smr_syntax' in something not a
structure or union

     Problem line number has code as below --

           if( strcmp(mra->ma_rule->smr_syntax->ssyn_oid,
                mra->ma_desc->ad_type->sat_syntax->ssyn_oid) != 0)

{
return LDAP_INVALID_SYNTAX;
        }


         Actually  mra is of  struct type  " MatchingRuleAssertion", which
is defined as below--


typedef struct slap_mr_assertion {
        char                                    *ma_rule;       /* optional
*/
        AttributeDescription    *ma_desc;       /* optional */
        int                                             ma_dnattrs; /*
boolean */
        struct berval                   *ma_value;      /* required */
} MatchingRuleAssertion;

but it is trying to assume   "mra->mr_rule "  as struct  and trying to
access it's member, while the LDAP code I'm having,  mra->mr_rule is   a
pointer to character  array.

I suppose  this is because of   openLDAP version mismatch   , could you pls.
highlight on this  error .
        or tell me for this  openLDAP version this patch is for ?

Thanks in Advance
Upma
