Package: gummiboot
Version: 45-2
Usertags: goto-cc
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

While trying to build gummiboot using our research compiler infrastructure the
build stumbled upon the following declaration in src/efi/console.c (from line 29
onwards):

typedef EFI_STATUS (EFIAPI *EFI_INPUT_RESET_EX)(
        struct _EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL *This;
        BOOLEAN ExtendedVerification;
);

While even gcc -Wall -pedantic will emit warnings, clang entirely rejects this.
To address this, the semicolons after the function parameters should be replaced
by commas, and the last one should be omitted, like this:

typedef EFI_STATUS (EFIAPI *EFI_INPUT_RESET_EX)(
        struct _EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX_PROTOCOL *This,
        BOOLEAN ExtendedVerification
);

The same problem appears multiple times in that file.

I'm not sure about the rationale for the chosen syntax and surely this is an
upstream problem, but I couldn't figure out what their bugtracker was.

Best,
Michael
