s/mostly/entirely/ and s/should be/are/, please. If you can identify
specific violations of those coding rules, we are all ears.
BTW, we really really need some more non-gcc compilers in the
buildfarm. I realized this afternoon that CVS tip is breaking the
perennial bugaboo that gcc does not complain about
static int foo(...);
...
int foo(...)
{
...
}
that is omitting "static" from the actual routine definition --- which
plenty of other compilers do complain about; so why don't we have a few
buildfarm members that will yap loud and long about this?
