Re: Newer gcc silently accepts mixing C Code and Declarations

Fri, 01 Aug 2003 07:03:42 -0700

One month ago I posted that message about gcc3.3 accepting declarations after statements in C code http://www.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2003-July/009485.html . Nobody seemed to respond on the list (only one private respone). However, one guy picked up this issue and brought it to the gcc mailing list. As it now turns out, the gcc guys agreed to include a warning switch for this single purpose. Their CVS ChangeLog now says

2003-07-28  Hans-Peter Nilsson  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
            Michael Culbertson  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * c.opt (Wdeclaration-after-statement): New.
        * c-opts.c (c_common_handle_option) <case
        OPT_Wdeclaration_after_statement>: New.
        * doc/invoke.texi (Option Summary): Document
        -Wdeclaration-after-statement.

This is quite cool, especially the part that I didn't have to deal with the gcc mailing list -- Michael Culbertson was so kind to pick up the issue and bring it up there. Obviously he now succeeded so that future gcc releases (probably gcc-3.3.1) will have a warning switch to avoid such errors. Thanks a lot, Michael!
