For many years Gnulib has targeted C89 and has resisted using C99
features, as some Gnulib-using programs still wanted to target
C89. As this no longer seems to be the case, relax the porting
requirements to allow some C99 features. This is merely a change
to the documentation, to give other Gnulib developers a chance to
weigh in on the topic.
* doc/extern-inline.texi (extern inline):
* doc/gnulib-readme.texi (Portability guidelines):
* doc/gnulib-tool.texi (Initial import):
* doc/gnulib.texi (Header files):
Modernize to talk about C99 and C11 instead of C89 and C99.
* doc/gnulib-readme.texi (Portability guidelines):
Now a section, not merely a subsection, so that it
can be split up. Modernize a bit.
(C language versions, C99 features assumed)
(C99 features avoided):
New sections.
* build-aux/gendocs.sh (version):
* doc/gendocs_template:
* doc/gendocs_template_min:
* doc/gnulib.texi:
* lib/version-etc.c (COPYRIGHT_YEAR):
Update copyright dates by hand in templates and the like.
* all files: Run 'make update-copyright'.
* build-aux/gendocs.sh (version):
* doc/gendocs_template:
* doc/gendocs_template_min:
* doc/gnulib.texi:
* lib/version-etc.c (COPYRIGHT_YEAR):
Update copyright dates by hand in templates and the like.
* all files: Run 'make update-copyright'.
* doc/extern-inline.texi (extern inline):
* m4/extern-inline.m4 (gl_EXTERN_INLINE):
GCC bugs 54113 and 63877 are fixed in GCC 5.1, so don't work
around these bugs in GCC 5.1 and later. Maybe in a decade or
two we can remove these workarounds.
* doc/extern-inline.texi: New file.
* doc/gnulib.texi (alloca-opt): Include it.
* m4/extern-inline.m4: Move some comments to documentation,
and others closer to what they describe.
