Subject: [PATCH] builtin/config: work around an unsized array forward declaration
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2018 20:34:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180705183445.30901-1-dev+git@drbeat.li> (raw)
As reported here[0], Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.2 and "gcc -pedantic"
don't understand the forward declaration of an unsized static array.
They insist on an array size:
d:\git\src\builtin\config.c(70,46): error C2133: 'builtin_config_options': unknown size
The thread [1] explains that this is due to the single-pass nature of
old compilers.
To work around this error, introduce the forward-declared function
usage_builtin_config() instead that uses the array
builtin_config_options only after it has been defined.
Also use this function in all other places where usage_with_options() is
called with the same arguments.
