[PATCH] xf86drmMode.h: inline -> __inline for use with gcc -std=c89 -pedantic

[PATCH] xf86drmMode.h: inline -> __inline for use with gcc -std=c89 -pedantic

[Daniel Kurtz]

Unfortunately, there are some users of libdrm installed headers that like
to be built with -std=c89 -pedantic, which does not like "inline".

However, __inline works.

Can you share the name of those users ?

From a quick look clang and gcc are ok with this change, although some
versions of the Sun compiler are not. Considering that most programs try
to use c99 and later, might I suggest that you add a trivial wrapper in
your program ? Something along the lines of

#ifndef inline
#define inline __inline
#endif

It isn't a program, its a third party EGL/GLES driver, so, no I can't
really do this easily.

Alternatively can we:
 (1) move the wrapper to xf86drmMode.h itself, or
 (2) move this inline helper function out of xf86drmMode.h and into
the two libdrm tests that use it (or a shared test helper .h [0])
 (3) remove the inline and make drm_property_type_is a non-inline
function in xf86drmMode.c

[0] I think Thierry already has a patch set that rearranges the tests
to use some shared headers.  Perhaps this will work well once his set
lands.

I see... due to various agreements you're not allowed to make any
changes. Be that to the code or the build (-Dinline...).

Fwiw I would opt for 1 or 3 (leaning towards 1), as 2 might lead to:
 - Everyone coming up with their own "helper", or
 - Ignoring DRM_MODE_PROP_EXTENDED_TYPE checking
drmModePropertyPtr::flags, thus causing all sorts of chaos.


Randy, Niveditha, Stuart,

Does the compiler(s) used to build libdrm and friends support __inline ?

Thanks,
Emil

P.S. [0] Seems to be missing but I do recall the series :)

   It should.  I can't be 100% sure as there was just recently a new 
compiler release, but I would also suspect if this support was broken or 
dropped, then lots of stuff would break.


   Cheers!

Thanks for the information Randy.

Daniel
Based Randy's input we can go with the original solution :-) Will leave
the patch around for a week or so, for others to comment, before pushing
it. If someone else beats me to it, feel free to add:
