## Summary More Info regarding this can be viewed from the discussion.[Here](https://users.rtems.org/t/build-issue-with-pc386-bsp-due-to-forward-declarations-and-legacy-code-patterns/813) This is the error observed when building the PC386 with the given configuration settings. ``` ../../../bsps/i386/pc386/console/vgainit.c:67:25: error: array size missing in 'graphics_on' 67 | static REGIO graphics_on[]; | ^~~~~~~~~~~ ../../../bsps/i386/pc386/console/vgainit.c:68:25: error: array size missing in 'graph_off' 68 | static REGIO graph_off[]; | ^~~~~~~~~ In file included from ../../../bsps/i386/pc386/console/vgainit.c:9: ``` On inspecting the affected file **bsps/i386/pc386/console/vgainit.c** The file has forward declarations like: ``` static REGIO graphics_on[]; static REGIO graph_off[]; ``` These are later defined with initializers in the same file, but modern compilers treat the earlier lines as incomplete definitions, which causes build errors (e.g., “array size missing”). Removing the declarations leads to “undeclared” errors since the arrays are used before definition. This looks like a legacy code pattern that newer toolchains reject. ## Steps to reproduce Using following config ``` [DEFAULT] RTEMS_POSIX_API = True OPTIMIZATION_FLAGS = -Wpedantic -Wno-error [i386/pc386] ``` -- View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/issues/5564 You're receiving this email because of your account on gitlab.rtems.org.
