I noticed that your 'jk/prune-mtime' branch removes the last caller

Thanks. I usually rely on the compiler to catch any static instances
that I missed, but of course this one is extern. Did you use an
automated tool for this
Yes, see below.
(I know you often catch X has no declaration;
should it be static? with clang,
No, these are caught with sparse.
but does clang catch this, too?).
If you need to re-roll those patches, could you please squash this
patch into the above commit. (unless you have plans to add some new
callers, of course! ;-) ).
Nope, I just didn't notice that I dropped the last caller. I don't think
we need another re-roll (fingers crossed), but I'd be happy to have this
on top.
OK, Thanks!
The tool that I use to spot these situations is actually my evolution
of a perl script that Junio sent to the list ages ago! ;-)
I made only minor alterations so that it would work on MinGW 32-bit
(well, actually msysGit, to be more precise), Cygwin 32-bit and 64-bit.
(The 'stop list' of acceptable symbols is _way_ out of date, but the
way I use the script that doesn't matter; still its on my TODO).
I run the script over each branch I build, master then next then pu, and
diff the results (ie ignoring the master base symbols), so I generally
only notice new symbols introduced into pu by new topics. It has been on
my TODO list for a while (OK years!) to go through the output from the
master branch and remove/make static those symbols which shouldn't be
external. (There are currently 53 symbols on 64-bit Linux. The list is
not identical on every platform, so you need to be careful. Also cgit
uses some symbols which would otherwise be static in git! ;-) ).
Ahem, I don't use git to version the script (static-check.pl), so I'm
only reasonable confident that the script I have easily to hand (Linux
Mint 64-bit) is the same on all platforms ... included below.
ATB,
