hi dan, list.
i have some patches i've been meaning to submit relating to the alloca.h
ifdef hell.
i'm a FreeBSD user and the stddef.h else clause is wrong and actually
gets patched out downstream. Free/Net/Open and DragonFly BSD all have
alloca() in stdlib.h.
i'll can review my patches now and upload them but they retain the old
style, not your proposed changes.
cheers,
t.

clang is pretty strict by default and I generally try to fix any
warnings it finds, as opposed to overriding them. If you think the
requested changes aren’t needed, I’ll go that route. My thought was to
lessen the angst for beginners compiling libpd & being put off by a
wall of warnings (especially in ofxPd).
I realized I can fix the alloc warning by adding HAVE_ALLOCA_H to the
libpd Makefile, so the stdlib.h include is unnecessary. Furthermore,
Maybe this define would be unnecessary by using better compile-time
system detection. For example, from d_fft_fftsg.c:
#ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA_H /* ifdef nonsense to find include for
alloca() */
# include <alloca.h> /* linux, mac, mingw, cygwin */
#elif defined _MSC_VER
# include <malloc.h> /* MSVC */
#else
# include <stddef.h> /* BSDs for example */
#endif /* end alloca() ifdef nonsense */
Could be:
#ifdef _MSC_VER
#include <malloc.h> /* MSVC */
#elif defined(__linux__) || defined(__APPLE__) || defined(_WIN32)
#include <alloca.h> /* linux, mac, mingw, cygwin */
#else
#include <stddef.h> /* BSDs for example */
#endif
I just tried and it compiles said file without the warning on OSX.

Sorry, missed this last... if it's needed I'd prefer to add stdlib.h
to all
the files where alloca gets used (so as not to include any more than
necessary
in m_pd.h).
cheers

Whoops. Missed a couple spots. Also, forgot to mention I added
#include <stdlib.h> to m_pd.h to silence "warning: implicitly
declaring library function 'alloca' with type 'void *(unsigned
long)’” in x_array, x_list, etc.
Here’s a new patch. Disregard the first one.
