Yes, so it's relatively unimportant. I could work around it in my situation; I only included it because it's "necessary" for some Sun compilers on older Solaris installations. A static gcc build works well enough in my situation. - > + Replace unsetenv() and setenv() with older putenv(). - I wonder how buggy various implementations of - putenv("THIS_ENV_VAR") are to remove the variable. I don't know, and it doesn't seem to matter in the git code. I didn't see checks for existance, but I may have missed something. Most uses replace a NULL with a pointer to "", which is why I just used putenv("FOO="). This is to cope with an older Solaris installation I have to use. ugh. I can use a better compiler, but I'm stuck with the system library. Other older systems probably don't have unsetenv(), either. The "right" way would be to twiddle the environ and use execle, but that's nasty. - > + Replace zero-length array decls with []. - This I am ambivalent about. I'm fine with requiring a limited C99 compiler. A pedantic compiler will reject members with a length of zero. 6.7.5.2 para1 requires a value greater than zero for a constant array size. So the code now (with [0] decls) is neither C89 nor C99.
