Nothing is going to break. The end result is a lot of noise in the
output of that function, when called. You also have the added expense of
Yet Another Function.
In the past:
static char *RCSid="$Id$";
Now:
static char *RCSid="$Id$";
char *get_module_version() {
return RCSIdl
}
Perhaps it is not a lot, but it is certainly more than there used to be.
I have always liked to embed the RCS $Id$ into my source code, and you
will almost always see a $Id$ near the top of my code, including shell
programs.
Oh, make sure no two modules define the same get_module_version()
function. That could be bad.
